Birthday celebrations

| September 16, 2016

Happy birthday to me! Although it was a Thursday and none of us were home to celebrate, Samantha made sure that we celebrated sufficiently when I got home from work. She has been waiting very impatiently for my birthday to arrive, although, I’m not sure if it is because she wanted to wish me happy birthday, or because she knows her birthday comes soon after!

After school, Samantha set out to wrap my presents, apparently. I found some mystery photos on her camera. My skirt looks good on her, I think. 🙂

We were about to open presents when Penny decided to help. Um, Penny? We weren’t ready yet.

I didn’t really want much this year, but Sam found the perfect gift. She and Mark both have beach hats with strings that keep the hat from blowing off and my beach hat does not. She told Mark that they had to find a way to fix Mommy’s hat. They did!

A birthday hug from both my girls. 🙂 Zach wanted no part of our celebrations, unfortunately, despite how many times Sam tried to grab him.

This picture was one of my gifts. We had it taken while we were at the beach. I always wanted one of these because I thought Sam would look so cute, and she does!

She loved the idea of being a bandit and tying us up to steal all of our money.

After the presents were done, Sam wanted to take a picture of us. As always, she does a great job!
