Samantha's birthday fell on a Friday this year, so we started the morning with our usual cinnamon rolls and a candle (and birthday singing!) before she headed off to school. She chose to wear her birthday hat that one of her friends gave her the weekend before -- and managed to keep it on ALL DAY LONG!

She had basketball practice that night so we waited until she got home to sing "happy birthday" again and to open presents. Jack did the honor's of lighting her birthday brownies for her:
Samantha was born at 3:15 am, so she had long-since officially turned 13 by this point in the day. Coincidentally, her basketball jersey number is 13.
Thanksgiving morning with four people that I am truly thankful for:

We celebrated Thanksgiving with my family and Steve's dad at our house with all of the usual Thanksgiving meal items -- so much food! I made a few desserts (of course) and one of them was a cake in honor of both Sam's birthday and my mom's. My mom's birthday is always 7 days after Samantha's and manages to fall right around the Thanksgiving holiday. This year, it was the day after.
