Sam's birthday... (Did I do that?)

Only a couple of months late... Sam turned 4 this year.  It's unbelievable!  And for updating purposes, she is doing so great.  I think she is the most normal physically that she's been her whole life.  She is happy, she is growing and her bowel issues seem to be managed for now.  She didn't get a lot of naps this summer.  She's old enough to know she's missing things and we were really busy playing.  So I could tell a difference that last couple of weeks of summer.  She really started dragging.  But a couple of regular weeks with naps, and she's back to normal.   She is a very bright spot in our home and our hearts.  

Opening presents...

 The highlight gift of the day.  Thanks Gram Samoa and Pop Pop!  More on this gift later in the post...

 From her sisters

 She sprinkled the top of her cake.  And sprinkled and sprinkled... Until they wouldn't stick anymore.  It was crunchy...

 Did I do that?

In the chalk/bubble kit from grandma and grandpa were these awesome colored bubbles.  They were pretty sweet.  But as soon as Sam saw the marks they left - I was the main target.  And she was a good aim...
