Sammie is FIVE.

Time flies. It is so true. It's one of those sayings that people just say but actually is true. Here is the proof. Five years ago we were blessed with our beautiful daughter. As her birthday approached I was filled with memories of the last five years and what joy they have brought. It only makes me excited for what's to come.
Sammie is really excited about being older too-it's sweet. When I asked her what she is most excited for about being five she said, "going to Kindergarten." Guess she's ready. And I know I say this every year, but 5 seems so much older than 4. It really does.
For her birthday, she invited over a some friends and cousins to celebrate with her. And Peter and I surprised her with a giant, princess castle jumpy house. And I mean, this thing was BIG. She was surprised and totally happy about it and the girls had fun jumping the day away. Then of course a craft-making tiaras, and a game- tape the tiara on the princess, cake, presents and lots of giggles. And yes-it was another princess party. The hope is next year we will break out of this tradition, but it's what she loves so I guess it's ok:)
Thank you Susan for sharing these pictures or I would have nothing to blog. Our new laptop won't read our camera so we have NO pictures yet! As soon as we figure this out I will post more.
