Sammy’s 5!

Samantha had a birthday last month!  Her birthday was on Monday and she wanted to bring treats to school that day, so we celebrated the Friday before.  It was quite the day!  She was in charge of everything we did.  We started out with breakfast the the Original Pancake House (so glad it wasn’t Denny’s).  IMG_0211Carter and Samantha both got the chocolate chip pancakes.  Quite honestly, they made me a little sick just looking at them, but they both seemed to enjoy them thoroughly.  IMG_0205IMG_0203After a quick stop at Kohl’s to let their stomachs settle a bit, we headed over to Flabbergast, a bounce house. One of my favorite things about this was listening to Sammy say Flabbergast all day – Flabbagast.  IMG_0215Once we had worn them out sufficiently we came home for Ben’s naptime.  Mike took Carter and Samantha to see The Lorax while Ben slept and I assembled her birthday gift.  Finally it was gift time!  She really loves Barbie lately (she doesn’t have any real Barbies, just the Disney princess version).  So she got some of those.  DSC_0013Ben gave Mike a confidence boost when he kept calling Ken “Daddy”.  DSC_0023And every princess and her Ken need a home, so that was Sammy’s big gift from us.  DSC_0038And sticking with the princess theme, this is the cake she picked:  DSC_0050And just for old time’s sake, 4 years ago, she sat in the same spot (old couch) and opened her presents. No princesses then, just a shape sorting cookie jar.  Where does the time go?  DSC_0633

Wow, 5! I remember coming over when she was a newborn....I can't believe she is so big. I love Jesus for so many answers. What a doll you have! We need to have her come for a girls night once and a while.
