Samantha's 9th Birthday!!!!

Happy 9th Birthday Samantha
Samantha had a fun birthday. It started out with swimming lessons, and then after lunch I took her, Shane, and Caleb to Artist for a Day. They got to pick out what ceramic they wanted to paint, and then paint it whatever colors they wanted. They had a fun time. Samantha picked a mermaid and seahorse, Shane did a skull piggybank, and Caled chose a rabbit. When they were done painting, they left their ceramic there, and they will glaze and fire it, and we can pick it up in a week.
Samatha's party started at 6:00. She got to invite 4 friends to come and go to a movie with her. Only two could come, but they had a lot of fun. We went to see Wall-E. Caleb (Samantha's Cousin)also came to see the movie with us. The three girls sat in the back row by themselves, and the rest of us sat a little closer. We had pop, candy, and popcorn. It was a cute movie!
After the Movie we came back home and had Samantha open her presents, hit open the pinata, and have cake and ice cream. Lora, Justin, and Kira (Aunt, Uncle, & Cousin) came over for the evening to celebrate with Samantha. The party ended at 10:00 pm. I think everyone had a fun time.

Everyone at Samantha's Party!

Alyssa Ready to Party!!


Time for cake and ice cream. As you can see we made a High School Musical Cake. Samantha made the Strawberry Cake, helped frost it, put on the sprinkles, and we added a HSM Megaphone.

Samantha Swinging at her Pinata. It was a High School Musical Pinata, and she was the 1st one to hit it, and it opened on her second hit. After everyone gathered up their treats, we let everyone else still swing at the pinata and rip it to pieces.
