We've had a crazy and hectic couple of weeks around here. I was planning on doing individual posts for each event, but well, you get a photo dump instead. Here we go...
My birthday started with breakfast in bed. This was a first for Sam and I think he could get used to living like this...
and we finished celebrating my birthday at Shogun. Sam did not take his eyes off the hibachi chef for 1 second....

Poppy's end of the year piano recital...
She played "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" and she did such a great job! We are sooo proud of her...
................
Poppy had her first ever soccer game! She is
loving soccer this year...
................
Her last day as a 4 year old. I begged her to not turn 5, but she refused. She said we can always pretend she's still 4...
This is what I got when I asked her to smile for the camera...
Strawberry ice cream cone cupcakes to take to school for her birthday...
Her birthday lunch was a sprinkle sandwich (which she loved, of course!)...
And then we had Marc's family over for a Korean dinner followed by birthday cake...
She could not believe I put real suckers on her cake. She barely took a bite of her cake, went straight for the suckers and then told everyone all night "They're
real suckers, ya know. Really, they're real. You can eat them!"
Sammy enjoyed his sucker too...
and Poppy even played a few songs for everyone at her party...
One of the favorite gifts- the book that goes along with the Arietty movie (which was sooo good, btw)...
..............
In addition to non-stop partying lately, Marc has been building a treehouse/playset in our backyard. Everyone is sooo excited about this...
Both Poppy and Sam are quite the helpers...
It's going to be so cute when it's done - I can't wait!
Speaking of being so cute, I could just watch these two play together all day. Today they were pretending Sam was the doctor and Poppy was the doll's mommy...
...............
Happy mother's day! Hope everyone had a wonderful day. Mine was filled with family time and relaxing...
Stay tuned - Poppy's
big birthday party post coming up next...
