Tea Sets and Dress Up Clothes

We had another successful birthday party this past Sat. All the kids had a great time playing with all the toys in our "room of plastic," I mean our play room. Seriously, I am sitting here looking around while I type and wonder how many hundreds of dollars in plastic toys we have down here, but hey, the kids all enjoy them and I am not going to lie, I like playing with them too. I like playing animals with Tanner and also enjoy his new Batman playset he got for Christmas. I have always enjoyed playing with him and he has always been all boy when he plays. Now, however, I get the best of both worlds. I get the wild and crazy"get the bad guy" type play with Tanner and the sweet, dress up like a princess, play with princess barbies and have a tea party play with Sami.

This years birthday seemed to follow this same theme. She got dress up clothes, tea sets and princess barbies. Yes I said "tea sets." She got 3 different sets for her birthday (I truly thank everyone who got her one but do find it really funny she got so many). These 3 added to the 4 she got for Christmas now makes us have enough tea cups for the whole block. Such fun.

Oh and even though Tanner says, "I will play dress up with Sami if she REALLY wants me too" or "OK fine Sami, I will play tea party with you" or my favorite "OK Sami, if you really want me to play princess barbies with you (said when she is nowhere near them) I will" I know he really likes all the girly toys we now have.

Thanks again to everyone for making this birthday so special for her. I will never forget the delight in her eyes when all of us sang happy birthday to her and it would not have been the same without everyone here to help us celebrate.
