Yesterday we celebrated Samantha’s 3rd birthday over at my mom and dad’s house.  We kept it simple and had the immediate family over.  From the minute she woke up, she was celebrating her birthday!  I purchased a new princess dress for her to wear all day and she was sooooo super excited to put it on!  My sister made the cake, and oh man was it amazing!  All in all, it was a great day – I know Samantha loved every second of it.  She’s got down her “cheezy” smile and expressed it all day long every time she saw a camera in her face (thanks Kris for capturing one on my camera!).   Here are the highlights from the day….

CHEESE-BALL SMILE ALERT!!!! 

I know this is a little overkill of Chloe – but she’s actually making eye contact with the camera again!!  I’m excited about that and wanted to celebrate it a bit.    I also caught a bit of a picture I took of her when she was a baby – I’ve got to find the original pic, so once I do I’ll do another post to show how much she’s grown over the past 4 years!
