Samantha Turns 11!

When you wake up early it is hard to spell. 🤪

Much better.

Breakfast ready for the new 11-year-old. Her request, just oatmeal. 🤷‍♀️

Gift from Grandma and Poppy. 📷 

Making birthday treats for school. 

Birthday messages from classmates. 

More gifts. 

Birthday dinner at Opal with Rio. 

Then Cinderella at the Granada. 

First sleep as an 11-year-old! 

The Amazing Race Birthday Party!

Friends arriving and ready to compete! 

Their random pick of bandana colors determined their teams. 

Lots of clues and running around the neighborhood. 

My helper Holly! It was more difficult than I thought coordinating how this would all work. 

One of the tasks was to find a photo of Sam at the Shoreline playground. There may still be a few photos hidden there. 😂

I think someone had to leave and Todd stepped in. 😂

The winning team!

The fun continued with these amazing bandanas. 

And then some of the sweet cards...
