This March, Samuel turned 12! I can't believe how fast he's growing up. His birthday fell at a busy time of the year for us, but we squeezed in as much celebrating as we could. He asked to go to Olive Garden for dinner, so we made that happen. That kids loves Italian food and cheesecake for dessert too!
After dinner, he opened his presents from family.
On the morning of his birthday, he asked for French toast for breakfast. Katherine made him a whole breakfast tray to celebrate. We had pizza for lunch, and then that evening he left for the Count It All Joy campout. We picked up donuts to share with his troop at the campout to celebrate.
As soon as he got back from the campout, the Flamings visited, and we also had plans the following weekend, but Sam really wanted to do a little celebration in Kidsboro with the Pashkovets, so we scheduled a last-minute afternoon playing yard games. All the kids helped him to feel really special. We played gates, ultimate tag, and ate frozen smores with some of our favorite people. It was the perfect way to celebrate our boy.
Samuel, we're so proud of the man you're growing into. I love your determination, uniqueness, and willingness to work hard to achieve your goals. Your creativity and out of the box thinking will take you far in life. I can't wait to spend your thirteenth year watching you grow and learn.
