Samantha...5 one day, 4 the next...

Samantha...my little Sammy, turned 4 on Nov. 9th. She's absolutely convinced that she was NOT 3. Our conversation usually went something like this:

Mom: "How old are you Sam?"
Sam: Without hestitation, "5!"
Mom: "Really? Are you sure you're not 3?"
Sam: Jumps to the ground wherever she was... "Mom...watch how big I am" Then puts her hands on her feet, and follows them all the way up her legs, body and puts her hands high up in the air... "See! See how big I am! That means I'm five!!"

So, when her birthday celebration came (we celebrated with the family on the 8th). This was heard several times...

Guest: "Samantha how old are you today?"
Sam: "5!"
Guest: "5! Wow! How old will you be tomorrow?"
Sam: Again, no hesitation, "4!"

hahaha... Such fun little things she brings to us! But, I have to agree with her completely...I had a hard time believing she was 3 too. :0)


We all had a great time celebrating. Sean made her cake for her...a perfect pink flower cake! She loved it and...yummy! She loved all of the gifts and was so gracious to let Kaitlyn help open almost all of them. Kaity was desparate to have everything to herself. haha...good times... Especially when Samantha got to the gift from Grandma Dot and Grandpa Bunnell. They gave her a darling stuffed dalmation puppy. She opened it and snuggled the puppy immediately...very sweet. And then set it down next to her. Kaitlyn got ahold of it and has barely let go since then. hahaha... Funny the things they become absolutely attached to! :0)







Sam also got to bring birthday treats to preschool for everyone. We ended up going to Walmart and finding a really fun tinkerbell cupcake arrangment. She was excited about it and really wanted us there to take her picture (which I was more than willing to do). She had a great time having me and Kaity there to watch her big day.

Hi there, what a cute family. I could sort of see your house in the background of some of the pictures. I need to come and peek! I can't believe your husband made that PERFECT flower cake. That's talent!! It is so cute! You're great. I loved talking with you the other night. we need to get together in all of our spare time.
