Samantha is 5!

Well, I just ran out of space on blogger. Bummer! Just when I was going to post a dozen pictures of Sami! I went ahead and paid the monthly fee but I can't post pictures for up to 24 hours, until my payment is confirmed.

Anyway...on to the important stuff: Samantha is 5 today!! I can't believe it. She is growing up so fast. She is so excited to be five. And I am happy for her, but I don't want her to grow up too fast. But she wants to grow up fast. She wants to get baptized, drive the blue van, and get married. She told me so. Thankfully, for me, that won't be happening soon. Because I love this stage. I love that I still get to cuddle with her and read her bedtime stories and the greatest treat in the world is making cookies together. 

She is the one that started it all. She has told me a couple of times that she wished she was a mommy like me. And I tell her that she will be. And when that day comes, she will understand how she much she has blessed our lives. Just posting about her makes me smile. She is fun, sweet, cute, friendly, adventurous...everything a 5 year old should be. 

So far, she has had a great day, except she is sick. I feel so bad that she is sick on her big day! But she is still determined to have fun. We just love her.
Happy Birthday to our cutie-pie Sami Girl!!
