Lyssa turns 9!

Well, it's here, Lyssa's ninth birthday... and she just couldn't wait.  I remember being in such a hurry to grow up, and then everyday I want my childhood back.  I can't stop her from growing up and I live with that fact everyday.  My baby girl is not a baby anymore, but she will always be my baby. 

This year it was pretty hard to figure out what to get her since she is not into any of the 9 year old stuff like other 9 year olds.  She no longer likes Hannah Montana, or the Jonas Brothers, and luckily she never liked Justin Beiber.  However this left me wondering exactly what does she like...

We went to Wal-Mart to let her pick out her own cake, like we do every year.  I had only started turning the pages when Lyssa jumped and gasped all at one time.  I saw it too, it was Twilight... oh my and not only Twilight, but "Team Jacob."  Of course this was her cake... she didn't want to look at any other cakes.

Now, as for my parents, they seem to know her better than I do... She is fascinated by the show NCIS and even more fascinated by the character Abby.

All in all she had a great 9th birthday!
