Happy Birthday, Grandmom!

Since we were down the shore on my mom’s actual birthday, we needed to have a celebration at home. We can’t leave Poppy out of the fun! And of course, we needed cake. Sam picked out the flavor (chocolate on chocolate) and helped bake and decorate the whole thing.
Grandmom was turning 70 and Sam added a 5 because she is 5. The Cinderella coach was also Sam’s special addition.
For some reason, Sam wouldn’t sing Happy Birthday, but she did sit on my mom’s lap.
When it was time to blow out the candles, she helped with that though.
And also with the eating of the frosting. Not the cake, just the frosting. She licked every bit off the decoration and ate all the frosting off of her slice of cake too.
After cake while we were cleaning up, Sam played with Poppy. She showed him how to work her cash register.
Present time! Which is Sam’s favorite time. She helped my mom open her presents and her card. You don’t get 5 seconds to actually read any cards with Sam around, but still.
Kisses for everyone!
I got my mom a Kindle Fire for her birthday. Once Sam figured out what it was she was very excited. She loves playing on mine (which does contain some books, but a heck of a lot of her games). I made sure Sam understood that it was Grandmom’s Kindle, not hers, and it was not going to be full of games. She gets enough screen time as it is. But you can see the look on her face like, “Yes! Kindle at Grandmom’s house!”
From the look of befuddlement on my mom’s face, maybe Sam will have to teach her how it works. Don’t worry, Mom, you’ll figure it out. And if not, tech support is onsite 3 days a week. 🙂
