Happy 8th Birthday Samantha!

Samantha Isabel is just growing up too quickly!  Last week she turned eight years old!!!  This is a special birthday for her and she has been anticipating it for months.  She started out with a birthday breakfast before school and her first present - a new outfit to wear.  (She had been begging for skinny jeans for weeks and weeks and the birthday fairy found some on sale at the mall in Boise so Hurray!!!)  Then it was off to school with treats to share with her classmates.  After school she was able to attend Activity Days for the first time with Emma which she was very excited about.  She will look forward to attending now every other week!

Her birthday dinner request was bubble pizza and homemade smoothies.  However, her birthday dessert request was a banana cream pie which was a first.  I thought for sure she would go for something very chocolately but I guess she takes after her daddy in the pie department.  She blew out all of her candles after we sang the birthday song to her.

It was a great day for her and we feel so blessed to have her in our family!
