Happy Birthday, Sam!!! I feel like he’s been 11 for a long time because he’s so mature and young in his class. It’s real now, and it was a special year – his birthday was on Friday the 13th, just like his original birthday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He started his Friday with pancakes. This was also the first day of D&D club at school. He had a super fun time and is excited to play again before classes every Friday. He and his elementary gang are starting a new campaign. In class they sang to him in Spanish in his World Languages class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After school we opened presents. He got a lot of cool tech this year! Not only did he get his first cell phone, but a new Kindle, a new headset, and a new keyboard. We also we set up a large monitor and organized his desk space. He loves gaming there now. We had (I forget…Chick fil A?) for dinner and then got Coldstone ice cream for dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday night Sam celebrated with friends at Thane’s Tavern<\/a> – a gaming restaurant. I booked the Wynchwood Forest private room and Ben had his friend, a professional DM, lead a custom campaign. The kids had an absolute blast! (I made a chocolate D20 cake, but we ended up not serving it because it was pretty noisy and the service was a little hectic, so we enjoyed it at home over the next week. )<\/p>\n\n\n\n
