Our 6 year old

Samantha had a great birthday-- She was so excited to turn six. She loved being able to take treats to her class and have the principle say her name over the speaker on morning announcements. (this girl LOVES school)


Before the spoiling....



Opening her art set from Gra and Papa to support her new addiction to writing,drawing and creating



Opening her favorite movie(and book) Ramona and Beezus



Wearing her birthday shirt, already for school!

After school-- before we cut the cake--

The Nutcracker with Dad
Mike was on a rotation with a Doctor who annually took everyone in his office to the Nutcracker for Christmas. He has everyone over for dinner at his house and then they take a limo to the ballet. He invited our family to come along. Since it ended up being on Samantha's birthday, Mike thought that it would be the perfect daddy-daughter night.
Needless to say-- Samantha was so excited!

Man, we love our six year old!
