Celebrating Sam

Sam turned 9 on Monday.  He was so excited and counted down for weeks.  I decided to eat lunch with him at school, bring cookies in to share with his class, and then surprised him with having Abby bring cookies to his after-school Chorus rehearsal (where he had 65 kids sing to him).  It was a good day for celebrating with Sam!



The funniest gifts Sam got were bottles of Ranch dressing from Abby and a game he had been looking at for a while called "What the Fish", which we played that night and enjoyed a lot. Sam is such a fun kid, full of laughs and jokes, dotes on Nora, plans fun adventures and activities for everyone, and is so creative.  I love my Sam!




We threw Sam a party for his 9th birthday.  He helped with the prep and planning and was so excited.  After the party, I asked him what his favorite part was and he answered, "Being with my friends!"  Sam helped me make the party list a few weeks ago and we invited 16 boys, thinking that we would get about half here.  We got yeses for everyone (at which point I may have hyperventilated), but 2 ended up not being able to make it.  It was a lot of fun to see Sam with his friends, a lot of loud to have that many boys at our house, and an impressive amount of hugging for a group of boys :)
