Samantha's 12th Birthday

Yes, we have a 12 year old at our house and she is definitely getting older. She had a great birthday and a party with her friends.

We gave a spotlight for her at New Beginnings so I will just paste it here so you can know how amazing she is!

We love having Samantha in our home. She is full of energy and adventure. She is so willing to help and be responsible for her role in our family. She has become more thoughtful toward others and has also decided to be more responsible. She takes care of her jobs, homework and is very supportive of our family scripture study and prayers. We love Samantha and are so pleased with her desires to learn and grow and follow our Savior’s example. We are so grateful she is part of our family and we are grateful for the happiness she brings to all of us.
