Well, we had the party and it went well...

We had the New Life Party for Samantha and she had tons of family and friends surrounding her for three hours at the park. She loved it. We had chips and dips and then of course cake. I asked people not to bring gifts and most of them didn't, but a couple did. It wasn't to get presents, it was to celebrate Sam's new life and her standing in our family. The cake she chose is darling. She picked out this picture of her favorite thing which is owls and showed it to me. There's a dad owl, a mom owl and a baby owl in the picture. She said it was us. So I took the picture down to Safeway and they have a machine that paints it onto the cake. It turned out beautifully. Check it out.



Now, we're just looking forward to Christmas and starting the New Year. We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. You've all helped me through all of this and I owe part of the success to y'all.

Love and hugs,
Patt
