Sam generally splits his birthday with Christmas day, but this day in Florida was a day full of celebrating Sam! We had not skipped out on celebrating Jesus, we made a point to do that a bit earlier this year~ Christmas night was all about a birthday party for our 11 year old. Chose my favorite 11 photos of Sam to create a special collage. Love this boy and all he brings to our family. Everyone should see the world thru Sam's eyes, it is much simpler and less chaotic in his world. He teaches me much.
One of Sam's favorites in steak, grandpa grilled us some yummy steaks from Graber Hill Farms.
Paired with some great Florida produce and fresh squeezed lemonade from Grandma - and a little crab meat from our friends in WA. Sam was in heaven.
I took our trusty party banner and candles from home and Grandma and Dryce picked out a cake at the store.
Sam got a new basketball from Grandma and Grandpa, Darrin and Shannon gave him money to pick out his own gift (always a fav)
Mom and Dad surprised him with a new John Grisham book series (he and I are ready the 1st one together for a school assignment and we LOVE it).
And Sam's wish list included Golden State pajamas.
He loved his cake.
We had these left from Sam's 5th birthday party - ha, they were fun for all the kids. {and I finally emptied my stash}
Kids played a lot of Uno this trip - totally independent - that was fun for them (and the adults)
Guys played a lot of Rook
