So This is 9

This is 9. Funny, smart, intuitive, helpful, but also bossy, opinionated, and infuriating! We love you Samantha! You have all of those qualities and more. You are changing so much every single day. We see you growing physically, mentally and emotionally and can’t believe how lucky we are to have you, even when you make us crazy!
For your 9th birthday, you were so excited, you didn’t want to wait until your actual birthday to open your presents, so we let you open most of them the day before, when we were having your family dinner. Because you are our little fashionista, you got some grown up looking clothes, including the long boyfriend sweater you couldn’t wait to put on.
You are currently fascinated with Mary Poppins and because you are having a Mary Poppins themed birthday, we got you a Mary Poppins charm bracelet.
Your kitties want you to have the best birthday ever, because they love you as much as you love them!
Well, Zach does love you, even if he isn’t always the easiest to hug. 😉
You always pose just right for your pictures, when you aren’t being too silly. This pose was your idea completely.
Every year you become more beautiful, both inside and out.The whole world gets to see how beautiful you are on the outside, but only those closest to you see the complete and real you. We are so lucky.
Your mom and GG love you more than you will ever know.
And your Dad thinks you are the most amazing little girl in the world.
When we all got together for dinner, it was time for more gifts! A gift card to Justice (so you can by more clothes…since you won’t let me pick much anymore).
And a ukulele! Exactly the one you wanted. Bright and colorful, just like you.
Your Mary Poppins cake, not that you will eat anything but the frosting!
We did save a few gifts for your actual birthday, the Boogie Board you were ogling in Staples…
Some special stickers that say just how cool we think you are…
And your new grown up watch! Pink!
One of your favorite gifts was your disco light, so you can be the true rock star you are.
Happy Birthday, our dear girl. We know you are going to keep amazing us every single day. Just keep being you!
