Alexandra's Art Award

Alexandra in front of the first Gallery to show her Art Work! :-D We are very proud parents! Isn't she such a cutie!?!?!?!










Alex was so excited entering the gallery. She was in a rush to lead us...even though she had no clue where to go. :-D












Here is the sign for the Childrens Art show!













The artist and her work! :-D




Here is a picture of the tag that was under Alex's picture.














Here is Alexandra's picture! :-D

















Alexandra was the first student called up from Massena. She was very shy and nervous. :-) As most of the children there were. The folks next to us asked how old she was....because she is so tiny. :-D







Here is a pic of Alex receiving her award and gift bag!












Alexandra with her award and gift bag. :-D We are very proud of our artist!

Samantha's 10th Birthday Lunch

Sam and Daddy! (aka...the spoiler! :-D)















Alex eating her fries...that she accidentally smothered in half a bottle of ketchup!










Here is a picture of Sam's meal...Surf 'N Turf! She finished off the Lobster first...and ate the entire Prime Rib! :-O She brought the potato home for later. :-) After lunch we were too full for cake. We will wait until later.













Adam and Alex snuggle after a very yummy lunch. :-)






After shopping in Ogdensburg, we went to dinner at Jreck Sub. Still too full for cake! :-O























We finally got to Sam's birthday cake around 9 pm Saturday night! :-)

Samantha's 10th Birthday

Samantha's birthday started with Grandma Conn dropping by her birthday card with $10. in it! :-) Grandpa Conn called in the afternoon to wish the birthday girl a happy birthday!
Followed by a visit from Aunt Nean, Uncle RC, Torrie & Brandi around dinner time. They brought a new Zelda game for her game boy and yummy treats. :-)
Next Nana and Papa showed up with birthday cards. One from them and one from Old Nan in Florida. :-) Which brought her total to $25.
The final visit of the night was from Aunt Reba. Who had us laughing the whole visit. :-D Aunt Reba brought lots of great stuff! A jewelry case, a lighted mirror, notebooks, planners, and pens with a few lipglosses and a card!
Uncle Jeremy surprised us with a special call from Portland after everyone left and Sam was all smiles! Aunt Andrea and Uncle Jeremy sent a card and money! Samantha will get to go shopping tomorrow and spend all her birthday money. :-) Thank you everyone for all the lovely presents and for making her day special! (PS...Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Andrea, check out what Sam chose to wear her birthday night....the necklace you guys sent for Christmas! :-))
