Sammy's Five!

Well today is Sam's 5th Birthday! Hard for this mama to believe! He had a great day...

It started with presents and balloons by his bedroom door (a tradition at our house)...

We had friends over this morning...Nahum and Isaac. It was bittersweet as their daddy is finished with school and their family moved from the Swiss Tower today. They are going home to Alabama and then in March they are moving to Russia. We will miss them dearly...but are glad for the time that we got to hang out with them and Play together...

And after our playdate went our for supper with Mom, Dad, Lizzy, Abby, Drew and Grandma at the Rainforest Cafe...a Jackson Family favorite place!




His night ended with the Birthday Sundae...it had a sparkler in it for a candle!! What a great day for a brand new 5 year old...



He also had his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's on Saturday. One of his biggest concerns with moving was wondering if he would have anyone to invite to his party. We had 5 families there and 16 kiddos all together! Thanks be to God for providing new and wonderful friends for our kids (and us:-))!! And thanks to all of you who have prayed for all of those details...we wish we could have celebrated with you too!

We Love you Sam...Happy Birthday! MOM
