Unexpected smiling...
Today is a watching-tv-in-my-sweats day. Blinds are closed, heater is on and Sam & I watched Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (for the 8th time). After I put her down for a nap, I kept watching tv...which is the one thing I don't let myself do during the day. It's depressing and impossible to stop. So, as I sit here watching episodes of Top Chef and eating cookies...I went into the bedroom to get the computer.
As I walked into the room, I saw this.
Can you tell what it is?
Stroller lines in the carpet.
I know it is really hard to see, but the stroller lines go in about a bazilliion different directions. Into the bedroom, in & out of the bathroom, and to & from the reading chair. There isn't a day that goes by that Sam doesn't push that little baby stroller around and around and around.

Princess Party
Mary-Beth & Emilynn's Princess Party!
Sammie was invited to a princess birthday party by our neighbors.
Tinkerbell Wings
She is WAY into Tinkerbell right now, so we dressed her up in wings. She had a wand, a tiara and princess shoes (thanks Avery for letting us borrow the dress-up).
Duck - Duck - Goose!
Sammie & Emi were always up and chasing everyone around...whether it was their turn or not!
Decorated Princess Crowns
Sam insisted on putting her crown on all by herself.
Toddler Time
While the big girls learned a dance, the little girls traded crowns & played their own version of basketball/chase/keep-away.
Pizza & Princess Cake
The party was at Lifetime Fitness.
People Watching at the Gym
Sammie & Emi were caught intently watching a guy doing squats. They just couldn't stop staring!
Happy Birthday Mary-Beth & Emilynn!
Sam a got a great party favor-bag with a wand, makeup and a book. Thanks for inviting us!

Random Activities
Our laptop died a couple of weeks ago, and getting back up to speed with downloading pictures takes a while. We are always up to something fun, so here are a bunch of things we've been doing the past couple of months.
2 Year Old Playgroup
Every week we get together with about 10 other toddlers. Sam just loves playing with her friends. Here she is with Lauren and Avery.
Rice Krispie Treats
My freshman year at BYU, I lived in the dorms and ate at the cafeteria. Every meal I would take a couple rice krispie treats and keep a collection in my room...you know, brain food. Today, Sam helped me recreate the memories.
She would put a teaspoon of rice krispies in at a time...rotating between her mouth and the pot. 
We put in Christmas M&Ms...she picked everyone of them out!

Shaving with Dad
Titmouse Club
A local nature preserve has a weekly toddler educational hour. We went and learned about American Indians. We got to walk around and enjoy nature.
Afterwards, Sam made an Indian Rain Stick.
