Sam's 12th Birthday

Sam turned 12 today. I can hardly believe it. Sam was the cutest baby in our family. He was born with lots of beautiful black hair and has always had the cutest little face. It's a pleasure to be his mother. He's a great example to me and wants to make everyone around him happy.

Sam's birthday happened to fall on the night we stayed downtown at the Marriott before Christmas. We followed tradition by eating at Benihana's, seeing the lights at Temple Square, swimming and ice skating. This year we also added a matinee movie, The Blindside, on Friday. Along with the annual traditions, this year we also celebrated Sam's birthday.

It's always hard to find a great present for Sam's birthday because it's so close to Christmas, but this year he wanted an iTouch, which was a great idea. He's using it all the time, and loves to look at the scripture app (along with the golfing apps, the game apps, the iPod...)
