Samantha's Birthday Party

Samantha's birthday is tomorrow but we had the party today. Nancy's parents had been here since Friday because her mom was in a pinochle tournament in Bismarck this weekend. But they got sick this morning and left early this afternoon. They are staying overnight at Prairie Knights Casino and Lodge. Feel Lucky Tonight! As I said above, we decided to go ahead with the plans for the party.

My parents and my grandma came and so did Barb and Jason and family. We had supper, Samantha opened her gifts, and a little bit later we had birthday cake and homemade ice cream with homemade chocolate sauce. I produced both of those products along with the sloppy joes for supper. My mom brought a couple of salads and Nancy made a hashbrown casserole. Barb took a delicious snack mix. So, yes, we definitely had enough to eat!

We let Samantha open gifts from the sick grandpa and grandma before they left today. She is trying on some glasses that were in a gift bag. We didn't really get any good pictures when she opened gifts tonight - I was operating the video camera.

Samantha did have her best friend, Sydney, at the party, so she was happy about that. Here they are working together to blow out the candle.
