Birthday celebrations!

January 31, 2019

This 4 year old is getting celebrated lots! We had a BIG celebration last weekend with a very special trip to WDW! It was just the girls and SO much fun…even if we did learn that Samantha does NOT want to dress like a princess! Lots more to come on that.

Susan spoiled Samantha with four presents for four years! She’s the best!

We celebrated at home with Olexa’s cupcakes…

and a few presents including new leotards for gymnastics and a Poopsie Slime Surprise which she has seen on tv and asked for about 100 times! ha! She also got a Calico Critters set from Nate and Delaney. yay!

She then took treats to school to celebrate yesterday. We were doing iced cookies but the snow day (that turned into a no snow day!) messed that up so we’re saving the cookies for her party this weekend. Cake pops were a hit though!

Samantha is FOUR

January 28, 2019

Samantha is a FOUR year old! My big girl!! She’s the smiliest and happiest child to be around and I’m so glad she’s mine!

Oh my little Samantha Sunshine! She keeps life so fun! She loves baby dolls, doing hair and makeup, mermaids, watching Barbie and anything girly! She’s happiest with a big bow in her hair and some type of pink or purple on! She’s the most affectionate little thing and always asks me “Momma, can we snuggle?” Although, she knows the power of those snuggles and hugs and uses them to her advantage with Maxwell! He would hug her all day if he could and she never lets him! ha! Maxwell loves her the most. She and Spencer are buddies and, if it’s just the two of them, they shine! The play well together and are the best of buds. She loves Dad and lets her light shine on him occasionally but Samantha is definitely a Momma’s girl and wants me to do everything for her. It’s wonderful and exhausting.

Samantha loves dance and is often the leader in the class. She’s doing great at gymnastics and is clearly athletic and coordinated. This has been a fantastic year at school – she can write her name, knows all of her letters, and loves going to class every day! She sleeps in her big girl bed like a champ, though she still usually gets up once a night to use the bathroom and has to come get me to help her. She could do it on her own but…Momma’s girl! ha! There is nothing sweeter than singing her songs at night and watching her little fingers rub Baa-Baa’s ears…nothing sweeter at all.

four

My little girl with the big personality! She’s funny and sassy and silly and always sweet. Strong-willed, full of opinions, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
