Sam's 50th Birthday

The Thomas family had a wonderful get together On Sun. evening. It was Mom's 79th birthday and Sam's 50th birthday is coming up on the 12th so we took this opportunity to celebrate both.

All 10 Thomas siblings were there and we all had a great time remembering all the fun Sam stories which also lead us to remember a lot of fun Dad stories and then a lot of fun Uncle Jim stories. It was a great night. Thanks to Karen, Jenni, and Laurie for bringing it about. And thanks,Sam, for being such an awesome person. And thanks to our sweet mother for all the sacrifice and love. We are truly blessed.
