Tyler got to have his big birthday party with his friends at about this age, so Samantha was afforded the same opportunity. She selected the kids from school that she wanted to invite, and we held a dodgeball party at our house - and yes, it was Sam's choice to have a dodgeball party. Among the kids in attendance were Hannah (red shirt), Emily (light blue), Lexie (green), Kaden (yellow), Taren (red stripes), Kyle (dark blue), Andrew (gray tanktop), Collin (white), and Jacob (blue & orange)
