Ok, so Sammie’s birthday was November 15th, and she had a lot of stuff going on that day!

When she got up in the morning, we gave her a few small presents to start the day off right, and then she had to get ready for school. Here she is in the kitchen eating her breakfast:

Then we had to go outside to wait for the bus. I drove her crazy out there taking pics, I won’t subject you to all of them, but, how about one of her disgust?

Would you quit it, Mother?!!

No, actually, I won’t. Bwahahaha! I mean, just look how darn cute she is!!

She has those straight-legged, skinny pants with the flared bottoms - I just love that look! She is so totally cute! I did carry her in my womb for nine months, though, so that could just be me! Haha!

And because I’m such a dork, and just can’t get over the fact that the bus actually comes to our house to pick up the kids - and because I think it’s so adorable and cute and sweet that the bus actually comes the house to pick up the kids (I know, I’m a dork, I got that!) :

Isn’t that just cute?

Ok, so we need to move on from the morning. The school had two big things happening on that day - one was the mini-production of Grease, followed by each grade level doing some dances to the songs from Grease. And the other big thing was their Thanksgiving lunch, to which the parents were invited. And then, of course, we had birthday cupcakes to hand out! I only have pictures of the Grease event. (Aren’t you lucky? Haha!)

Here she is laughing and doing The Hand Jive:

And here she is outside with the sign that I thought was very impressive for an elementary, during the school day production:

That night, Mark came home and we gave her the rest of her presents - she got a very cool stereo, that’s kind of space-age-y! And one of those music player-thingymabobs. And the game Cats for her DSPSQR, whatever the hell that gameboy is called!! Haha! These kids are draining our checking accounts!!

Then Mark cooked spaghetti for her and then we had birthday cake! Yumm!

And, of course, all throughout the day we fielded phone calls from one family member and then the next, who wanted to wish Sammie ‘Happy Birthday’!! All in all, it was a great day!
