Elmo Surprises Samantha!!!!

It's been a couple of weeks but we had Samanthas second birthday at the park. Elmo showed up and the kids loved him and went straight to him...except the birthday girl. Even when Elmo told her he was daddy, but only in a costume. Still no go.

If DH ever needs another job he can always rent the costume and charge five bucks a picture. I have 3-5 phone numbers of people whos picture I took!!!

The wet face picture was in the morning brushing teeth, washing hand and anything else that requires water.

As always Samantha is so cute! Glad that the part was fun even if Elmo was scary.

Mine just started to go to the costume people.

Happy Belated Birthday!

Oh she is a doll. What a great idea having Elmo to join the party at the park.

She's adorable! Emily loves Elmo, but she would do the same thing. I don't think I would have been able to get her as close as you did for the picture.
Happy Birthday Samantha!

Too too cute! And we can relate. Our niece was a huge fan of Mickey Mouse until the first visit -- from a safe distance like viewing them on tv, children love their little friends, but up close poor Mickey was just a 10 foot rat - AARRRGGGHHH! Looks like you had fun anyway -- what a cute idea. Thanks for sharing your little dollbaby.

Happy birthday Samantha!
She's such a cutie! The Elmo story is great - one I am sure you will be sharing with her when she is older!
