A Happy Birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth

For my birthday yesterday, we decided to go to Disneyland. Here we are, getting ready to go.

Standing in front of the Haunted Mansion to see the "Nightmare Before Christmas" theme.

In front the the Castle.

The Happiest Baby on Earth.

Maddie just couldn't handle all of the excitement and slept most of the time we were there.

Main Street at night.

Kellie, Scott and Esther came over after we got home from Disneyland and surprised me with pie. MMMMM

Making a wish.

Sam's Getting Ready.

I can't believe it. The time has come where my little Sammy is getting ready for his mission. All of the paperwork is filled out and he just had his wisdom teeth removed this morning. It was cute, when he came to, he just started laughing. He had the staff cracking up. I guess that is not an unusual reaction to anesthesia.
When we found out that we were expecting with him, we were surprised. He is our only "oops". We were not sure that we even wanted any more children after going through the experience of losing a child. Good thing that we didn't make the decision. We were so blessed to have Samuel come into our lives. I call him the "Rainbow After the Storm". He has been such a pleasure. Don't get me wrong, I love all of my children. I'm just glad that we didn't stop at four. I now dedicate him unto the Lord, to do his work. I will miss him sooooo much. Michael and I are very proud of him.
