Happy 10th Birthday Sammy!

We just love our Sammy and don't know what we would do without her!  She is; 10 going on 16, very helpful, a great big sister, creative, daring, loves to try new things, not afraid to fail, kind, thoughtful, SOCIAL, loves music, enjoys camping & hiking, has a beautiful voice, great German speaker (she translates for me), very sensitive, LOVES cooking, & a blast to be with.  After a great trip to Italy, Sammy decided to spend her birthday at Kilchberg Badi with some friends.
Eating lunch before the swimming begins.
 Playing on the surfboard with Mia & Natalie.
 For Sammy's birthday dinner she requested tinfoil dinners and eating them at the Horgensee.  
 Whittling away...don't cut those fingers.
Feeding the ducks the left over bread.  They came right up to you and it scared Clara.
 On such a hot day they couldn't resist getting in the water.
 Even Allison, who usually hates the cold lake water wanted in.
 3 sisters and 3 friends.
 Happy Birthday Sammy...an apron cake for a girl who loves to cook.  The cake didn't quite make the trip from home, but it tasted good.

Oh I can't believe your kids are so big! I feel like they should just be frozen in time how I knew them in Florida. So fun to see how grown up they are getting. Miss you guys.
