Happy Ninth

The four square battle

More serious four square

I can hardly believe it but Sam turned nine on Monday. Sunday we had John's sisters and their families over to celebrate. John fried fish that he and Sam caught (per Sam's request) and we played some competitive four square, Ella talked a lot of people into playing Cootie, we had cookie cake and opened presents. It was a nice day to celebrate an amazing kid!

On his birthday I took he and his best friend Lucas out to lunch. John and Ella had to stay home since Ella had the stomach bug. The plan was to then go to an arcade but it was closed. Instead they played Sam's new video games here at the house. I think he enjoyed himself and we are making plans to return to the arcade when it is open later this week.
