Samantha is 4!!!






















The baby in our family is now 4 years old, believe it or not. We had such a fun birthday party for her this year. I was inspired by some aprons my kids brought home from Trafalga during our trip to Utah, as well as some creative suggestions from my sister-in-law. (Thanks Claire!) So we had a "baking" party. All the kids wore aprons and cute little chef hats. We baked bread, decorated cupcakes and played games. The madness was semi-contained until we opened the gifts. Those kids went crazy as Samantha attempted to open her presents and offer a hug to each giver. It was as if they had been invited to a wild five-minute shopping spree at Toys R Us! We really had a great time and I think Sammie had a good day.
