Taylor turned nine years old on September 30th. On that day, we drove to St. George in preparation for Dan's upcoming marathon. So, we celebrated a few days earlier with grandparents, cake, and presents. Jeffrey took credit for my parents gift to Taylor, so here they are in a very sweet hug. That's one happy uncle.
On Taylor's actual birthday, she went to the first half of school where my mother kindly dropped off cupcakes and juice boxes. I checked the girls early out of school to begin the drive to St. George. Once there, we took her out to Pizza Factory with the Abbotts.
