Happy Birthday Samantha!

We celebrated Samantha's 4th birthday last Saturday with a Littlest Pet Shop birthday party at the church. We had lots of Samantha's friends from school, dance class, and church there, as well as family.

Here is the birthday girl getting ready to blow out the candles.

We (Aunt Julie, Aunt Betty, Mimi and Deven) made a menagerie of animal cupcakes. Samantha wanted a sheep (for the marshmallows of course). Here she is opening one of many new Little Pets. She was so excited about each of them!

Samantha's big present (from multiple family members) was a purple Corvette power wheels type car.

Her reaction on first seeing the car and then after pushing the pedal the first time while in it.

Taylor graciously agreed to help Samantha steer her first lap around the gym and most of the kids got a turn riding with Samantha for a lap. After most of the crowd was gone, Peyton drove Samantha around a few times as well. They went much faster with him driving - it must be a guy thing...
