Samantha loves the holiday week, especially with her birthday three days after Christmas. She opened presents in the morning and in the evening, with a couple different wardrobe changes. She gets presents from family and friends all over the country, so she really is a princess for a day. I made her cake, and Grandma Susie decorated it. She wanted a rainbow fish, so we had to give the princess what she wanted. Next year we decided that it cannot be a fish cake again. She even got her own little carton of
Haagen Daas Strawberry ice cream, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
She blew out her candles as fast as she could. She was very excited for her rainbow cake.
Almost too cute to eat! It was very yummy.
She had to put her new rain boots on from Aunt Kim immediately. She also got a nice flower rain coat from Nana and
Grandpop, and a light water proof lady bug jacket. She is ready for any type of weather now!
Everyone knows not to mess with Grandma Susie while she decorates. Samantha got away with a little more than the rest of us.
Who, me? I wasn't tasting the icing!
Grandpop got Samantha her first scooter, which she loved riding right away. It is the first things with wheels that she can move pretty easily without help. Thanks
Grandpop!
Aunt Tracey got her a one cute birthday girl shirt that she wore most of the day. She had a great birthday and loved all of her presents from everybody.
She loves to "drive" anything. Today was special because she got to sit on the golf cart without anyone messing with her. Look how happy she is:
She had a good time in the bleachers with daddy. The campers were inside the building listening to a talk, so she had free reign of the entire complex.
Baxter has been acting like a puppy lately. He usually will not step on anything metal for some odd reason, but on this day he was running all over the bleachers. Samantha had a good time chasing him.
Samantha and Woody like to go for walks in the baby jogger. Samantha will get out for walk breaks, but she lets me know when she wants back in for a "ride."
Samantha likes to hang upside down, which can lead to falling off of the couch sometimes. You would think that she would learn her lesson, but you all know the answer to that question.
Ernie doesn't like her getting inside of the trunk, so when he is not home she sneaks in it whenever she can. I asked her if she was in there, and she told me no. She then laid as still as she could, like I couldn't see her or anything!
Thanks to all of the family members that got Samantha "princess" items for X-Mas! She has to have her finger nails painted every day, and wear her pretty dresses.
Woody is just too cute! He has us wrapped around his little fingers. Samantha is even smitten with his sweet disposition. He sits up now, but is still in no hurry to do anything else.
