Samuel and Seth's Birthday Celebration started with Grandma-pa Tanner taking them out to dinner anywhere of their choice. Not surprisingly they ended up at Maple Gardens. They love Chinese Food. Friday they returned home from school to find our traditional candy bar poster and helium balloons tied to their own case of pop! Our family went to a fun local Mexican restaurant Javiers for our celebration because Seth and Sam wanted to go close and quick so they could go to their High School Basketball game and then bowling with friends. Saturday was spent all day skiing with lots of buddies and some cute girls too who then came over that evening for Hot Dogs and Root beer Floats and many laughs and fun times!! Sunday we had a nice family dinner and then the Fords came over for cake and ice cream, air hockey tournament and fun chatting! Grandma Bell wasn't able to be with us this week but she sent her love. Samuel received money and Seth was ecstatic to receive his gift. Grandma framed the flag that was on Grandpa's casket and gave it to Seth. He was speechless, amazed at how cool it is and cannot believe it's his! He is thrilled, honored and completely appreciates what the United States flag represents and stands for. Especially this particular flag that honored his Grandfather as a World War II Veteran! It was a great weekend and I hope Seth and Samuel had a WONDERFUL HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Love Allyson

Wow, what a thoughtful wonderful gift from Grandma to Seth. Those guys are so cute, they seem to have such a fun group of friends and actually get out there and live life. I hope my kids are like them as teenagers.
You guys live life to the fullest. Wow! I'm so glad Seth got the flag...and that he appreciates it. How wonderful. I just got your blog address, Ally, and am enjoying it so much. It will be fun to keep up with you.
Ok, I'm just a tiny bit late, but that sounds great! Ally, I love it that your kids get their own case of pop on their birthdays. I'm not sure why, but that pretty much sums up what a fun person you are and always have been. Maybe we'll start that in our house.
