My Birthday
pamelamyers | September 16, 2013
My birthday this year was just as it always is — full of fun, wonderful gifts and my amazing family. Saturday is my day to sleep in and Mark and Sam ran out while I was still in bed and got a Chik-fil-A breakfast in bed! It was so cute, I heard Mark and Sam upstairs and it seemed late enough so I got up and got out of bed. They were upstairs getting Sam dressed so they could sneak out and Sam got really mad and told me, “You go back to bed!” So, off I went! When they came back I was served a yummy breakfast with my favorite people.
My actual birthday, Sunday, started out nice and early (thanks to Sammy). But look at that adorable face! How could I even be upset that she woke me up at the crack of dawn?
She couldn’t wait to help me open my presents, starting with the one she got for me. Apparently, a few months ago while we were shopping in Media, Sam saw something in a store and promptly dragged Mark to it with explicit instructions that it would be the perfect present for Mommy.
And it was! I love my heart dish especially since I know it was given truly from my little girl’s heart.
Sam couldn’t resist holding up and showing off one of her new iron on patches — ever since I showed her what they are, she is in love with them. She carried this little cat around for a while.
We had dinner at my parents’ house and this is the cake that Sam helped decorate for me. My mom told me that Sam was very clear that I needed green icing. She put all the decorations on by herself.
Sam loves that Mark has been wearing some crazy socks lately, and she wanted him to have rainbow socks like her. He got some, and since I had some too…well, it became a silly family portrait.
More presents! Definitely, Sam’s favorite part of any birthday party.
Here we are, the girls!
Cake time! Sam sang Happy Birthday to me, which was so special. It was the first time my little girl sang that song to me and I will never forget the sound of her voice and the look on her face as she looked so intently at me while she concentrated on singing.
Thank you everyone, for my wonderful day!
