Samantha shows off her snowglobe. . . the very same one that Mama and Da tried to give her for Christmas. However, the first one broke due to freezing before Sammi ever got to see it. Oma went back to Jamestown to get a new one.

We took Samantha to the photographer to capture her 5 year-old personality. They told us to bring anything we wanted for props, so we did! This is "Butterscotch," Samantha's new puppy that ACTUALLY GROWS. Once a day for four days, it really grows!

We took advantage of the slow day at the photo place with lots of fun toys and outfits! Presenting Her Royal Highness, Princess Samantha!

Even Princesses can have a sneaky grin.

You can buy her all the princesses gowns and make her all the birthday dresses you want, but this is our true Samantha. Hanging out with her puppy in jeans.

She's so big!
