On October 21 we celebrated Samuel's 12th birthday. He has been with us for my birthday (in China), Jim's birthday (our first day home), and Justin and Tessa's birthdays, so he was definitely ready for his own "happy birthday"!
Before school he opened presents from mom and dad.
A shirt . . .
. . . a Lego set . . .
. . . and what could this thing be??
Well, it's the football he's wanted for the last two months, of course!
During the school day, I took some cupcakes for him to share with his class. I didn't get any pictures of that, unfortunately.
When he got home from school he had presents waiting that had come in the mail. Birthday money from Grandma Altman, which has since been spent on another Lego set . . .
. . . and a basketball and shirt from Grandma and Grandpa Beck.
For dinner, Samuel chose to eat at Country Buffet. Brittany, Brad, Tessa, Taylor, and our friend Mark came with us. It was a yummy and fun time. After that, we came back to the house and he got his watch from big brother Taylor.
And a fun new game from Brad and Brittany.
Playing his new game with Caylie while Justin shows off his Science project? Hmm . . .

Happy Birthday, Samuel XuDi!
