Samantha turned 8! She started the festivities by rock-climbing for her friend party. There were cupcakes, presents and games so everyone had fun. There were a few friends that weren't able to come, so Samantha has been busy with playdates. She loves her friends, so it's worked out well!
Her she is at her friend party.
That night she got to wear her dress for a very fancy dinner out with her parents. This was the dress that she saved money for months to buy. She reveled in her time being the only kid and looked beautiful!
On her actual birthday, we took the traditional photo with the hat.
We had scheduled the family to come over, but we had it later in the week due to a messy snow storm. Samantha was so disappointed. I held her, told her I understood and suggested we go sledding to make the best of the weather, so we had fun with that. Ely walked with Daddy while I got a workout on the hill keeping up with my girls! Nana and Papa stayed for a bit after dropping Sofia off. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to her and had some cake before sledding.
The rest of the family came over last night (excepting Aunt Merrian who we hope gets well soon) to finish the celebration. Samantha was excited to show us the bowl she painted for Ely.
She got time with her cousins... Dylan joined Samantha at the piano and was adorable to watch!
One upside of having to reschedule the party was Samantha got to get another cake. This time was red velvet and it was delicious!
Happy Birthday Samantha. You are a young lady with a kind heart and we love you so much.
