A Birthday Party for Sam

We had another new experience this month - an invitation to a grandchild's birthday party. It was great to be able to celebrate with Sam. Guess how old he is now?


I was quite impressed with his choice for birthday dinner - Alphabet Soup (homemade chicken noodle) with French bread and fresh fruit. Isn't he a healthy eater?


He's also an artist, designing his own cake to be an earth with an ark and a blue moon on the side.


Because it was a school night, we didn't stay long, but we did play a quick game of Hungry Hippos before leaving. Happy Birthday to You, Dear Sam! Have a terrific year being 6!!


Their family has a couple of wonderful birthday traditions which I love. One is the number poster made with pictures of the birthday boy during the previous year. The other is a tablecloth, made from a sheet, that gets handprints added each year.
