Shannon’s Belated Valentine is Three: Three years ago today Shannon Myers welcomed a belated Valentine, daughter Ivy.
Since Ivy and her best bud (most of the time) Autumn were born only a day apart, they both partied together yesterday. Both girls like to get out on the dance floor and bust a move. Ivy’s style is more improvisational while Autumn has two older sisters to teach her some classy dance steps.
