Samara's Birthday

Tiffany, Grandma Colette, and Jesse
A very happy Samara!
Samara overwhelmed with joy!
This week Samara Elyana Edith Duquette turned 4!!!!! I can't believe how fast time just flown by us! Samara is a beautiful smart little girl who loves playing with her siblings, learning, and cleaning (of all things!). Samara loves prayer time and when she prays all you hear is "huh...God..." then nothing but whisper. Its sweet. God hears her! She is in love with Toy Story even before Toy Story 3 came out. Samara found one of Tom's old Toy Story toys and the love affair began:)

We had fun celebrating Samara's birthday by going to Chuck E Cheese & Build a Bear on Saturday. Its funny how adults cringe when you say Chuck E cheese and kids cheer! We did have a ton of fun there and Samara seemed to have a dream come true when she met Chuck E Cheese. We have had birthdays there for 18 years now (Tom & Tiffany)! Build a Bear was a ton of fun. Dominique was able to get on of his other bears repair, too. Delaine now has Emily Owl (another Emily name), Samara has Woody Puppy (Toy Story case you didn't get it), Kathryn has Heidi (she was not too impress with it though).We did have to change our plans a bit because we had to go to work for a dental emergency but it actually worked out for Samara's favor. We ended up going to a new restaurant in town for dinner instead of in Louisville where we celebrating her birthday. The restaurant had live music and the kids were able to go up and play instruments and dance. Samara had the people singing Happy Birthday to her and she was just sssoooo happy. It is so fun to see your children truly enjoying themselves! All our kids are growing too fast and as always its a reminder to take a step back, slow down and enjoy your gifts from gone. Before you know it they'll be out of the house! I know, I have 2 seniors this year!
