Jesus' birthday is right around the corner, but today we have a very special birthday from our own Grace family; Drew & Ellie Allen's son, Sam, turned 1 year old today!

Sam is celebrating his first birthday in his mother's home country of Brazil. I'm so happy for Drew and Ellie, that they are able to be with friends and family, but I'm really looking forward to the little traveling man coming back up here to the northern hemisphere so I can give him a big birthday Sammich™ (that's what I call a Sam Allen hug).
