Cookie Decorating

Samantha and her friend, Ella, decorated Christmas cookies today. Samantha obviously had too much sugar!! But she had lots of fun with the frosting.

Fire Station Tour

Today Samantha went on a Fire Station tour with our friends. She got a fire hat and badge. Her favorite part was sitting in the fire truck and turning the steering wheel!

New cousin

Samantha went to visit Aunt Amy and new baby cousin Colby in the hospital. She was so excited to hold a brand-new baby!

New Haircut

Mommy finally broke down and cut Samantha's hair. She got to sit in a Barbie jeep and watch Dora while her hair was cut, and afterwards she got vanilla hairspray and pink sparkles in her hair. Pretty fancy!

Ole!

We drove to Las Cruces, NM to see Scott's family for a week. Samantha completely terrorized us on the car rides there and back. But once we were there, she had a lot of fun collecting rocks, blowing bubbles and sledding at White Sands.

Christmas Day

Christ mas was so much fun with Samantha this year! She ran out to the living room and immediately announced that Santa had been here. Here she is modeling some new slippers (so she won't steal Mommy's), her new tricycle and her Christmas dress.

Samantha's 2nd Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Samantha's big 2! We had a teddy bear picnic with 15 toddlers. It was a little crazy but everyone had fun. The kids played Hungry Bear and ate bear paw cupcakes.
