Samuel's ELEVENTH Birthday

 Our Samuel Jacob turned 11 this month! He had a week full of celebrating. 

Since his birthday fell on a Thursday this year, Matt brought his lunch of choice and joined us at co-op. 


All the kids sang Happy Birthday to him during lunch. He's my quiet, doesn't like to be the center of attention kid, so of course his siblings made sure EVERYONE knew it was his birthday. 

That evening he requested ravioli and homemade sourdough bread for dinner and cherry dump cake for dessert. 

After dinner he opened his presents from us. He got a new Lego set, a silly rabbit sign, a preorder copy of the new Dog Man book, and a whiffle ball set and bases. 


Elisabeth had acquired a 2x2 Rubiks cube at co-op, and Samuel desperately wanted it. Elisabeth sweetly gifted it to him for his birthday. He was very excited. 














Instead of a birthday party, Samuel asked to go to Airtopia with his siblings and the Pashkovets, so we all did that on Friday morning. 

Everyone had such a fun time jumping and playing. 












These kiddos and friendships are a precious, precious gift. I continually thank God for the way he ordained the sweetest neighbors who have turned into dear, dear friends. Elena and I were talking that these kids are growing up like cousins not just friends, and it's so true! And I'm so thankful!







After two hours at the trampoline park, we all came back to our house for pizza and apple pie (Birthday Boy's choice)

Then they all had to try out Samuel's birthday presents!
We had such a special time celebrating our favorite eleven year old!
