Happy 7th Birthday, Samantha!

Posted By on September 23, 2016

What seems like not that long ago, my little girl was born and now she is seven. Seven! Everyone says to enjoy each moment because the time goes so quickly and they grow so fast, and boy, are they right. It couldn’t be so long ago that I held my little girl in one arm! Happy, happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Samantha. You are the light of my life, even when you make me bonkers. We are a true mother and daughter combo – you make me insane one minute and I want to smother you with kisses the next. But no matter what, I will always be your biggest fan. Happy 7th Birthday!

Unfortunately, Sam had school on her birthday, although I did volunteer at lunch that day, so at least we got to see each other.  Here’s my cutie eating lunch at her class table.

After school, she had gymnastics, so it was a very busy day with not a lot of time to spend at home. Sam was bursting at the seams to open her presents in the morning, but I told her she had to wait until after gymnastics so that Daddy could be there. That is a LONG TIME for a little girl to wait, but wait she did. I was proud of her.

The minute we got home from gymnastics though, all bets were off. She was not waiting any longer! She got a lot of nice presents, including some doll travel accessories she wanted.

…and a Barbie eye doctor! Thankfully, Sam’s eyes are still perfect (as far as we know) and she doesn’t need glasses, but she is fascinated by them. If the time comes, she won’t mind wearing them.

Miss Penny helped Sam open some of her other presents.

Mark got Sam a special present for them to do together – a basic electronics set. I know Sam can’t wait to try it out. She loved taking apart the computer and learning about how things work.

It was a busy day, but a good one. Sam’s name got announced over the loud speaker at school for having a birthday, she had cupcakes as her school snack, she saw me at lunch, everyone at gymnastics wished her a happy birthday, and then she came home to McDonald’s and presents! Happy, Happy Birthday!!
