birthday

last month sam had a birthday 
we enjoyed parties with family and friends
lots of yummy food and cake
i had been planning his present for months and was so anxious to give it to him
i'm horrible at keeping secrets from him but was so glad i did

i gave sam a date box
what's a date box? you say 
well i planned 12 dates, 1 for every month of the upcoming year
i pre-planned and pre-paid for each date
every date is something we've never done before
at the beginning of the month sam opens up that months envelope 
it tells us what we are doing, and all the details 

yesterday was our first birthday date
it was documented on the iphone
we headed to deer valley for a beautiful and fun outside concert 
we loved every minute of it 
we enjoyed great people watching, yummy food including 
tomato, basil, mozzarella sandwich, turkey with fig chutney sandwiches 
and the fresh air along with the beautiful sky!


 
 can't wait for next months birthday date
