Picture Perfect Party Linky #63

We've had a busy last couple of weeks. Samantha turned 13 and then about a week later had a big birthday party. With her birthday money, she bought herself an electric guitar.

Here's a sneak peek at what we've been up to recently. It included bumping into an Olympic gold-medalist and having our photo taken with him. I didn't want to pass up the opportunity and hubby offered to take the picture, so I could be in it.
