Her Life in Pictures: As Days of Our Lives Star Alison Sweeney’s Daughter Turns 16, a Photographic Tribute to a Kiddo Who Is ‘Funny and Strong, Thoughtful and Sensitive… ’
On January 12, 2009, a soap actress fell in love all over again with a precious baby girl, and we wanted to take a moment to send Days of Our Lives fave Alison Sweeney’s (Sami) daughter Megan a big birthday shoutout as she turns 16 years old today. To kick off her special day, take a look back at some of Megan’s special moments…
Must Love Horses
Megan’s love of horses started at an early age, as we can see in this 2014 photo with her mom, who had been enjoying “a mother/daughter afternoon.”
Fairy Princess
Later that same year, Sweeney shared a colorful collage of her and Megan “making fairy houses,” where Megan said “to put down rose petals as a bed inside the leaf.” Adorable!
Cooking With Mom
And apparently she’s a bit of a chef as well. Sweeney gave followers a glimpse inside a fun day of making “elf pancakes with Megan” and her brother Ben.
Vacationing With the Fam
While on a Vancouver family vacation, Megan took some time out to play and didn’t appear to have a care in the world as she soared high on a swing with cherry blossoms blooming in the background.
“Microfashion” Beauty
In 2015, she found her “microfashion,” as Sweeney put it, with no help from her mom!
First Day of School
She’s as cute as a button all decked out in pink for her first day of school. After Sweeney dropped the kids off, she revealed, “Whew. Now I get to go workout.”
Mom’s Sous Chef
And even the healthiest of snacks are easy to put together. “Making food prep fun helps everyone stick to their healthy resolutions,” the NBC actress expressed with a little assist from her girl.
A New Teenager in the House
And for her 13th birthday, as she entered her teen years, Megan’s proud mom started the day by sending her sweet daughter a very special “Happy 13th birthday,” and couldn’t believe how quickly time had flown by. Sweeney then expressed, “Your dad and I are so proud of the young woman you’ve become.”
The actress also shared three beautiful photos of Megan, taken by Skye Richards, posing in a blue party dress. She was seen on the back of a white horse in the first, followed by one carrying balloons and running down a dirt road with a furry friend close behind. And in the last, Megan smiled for the camera with the horse and dog — now that’s coming full circle!
Sweeney talked about how “funny and strong, thoughtful and sensitive, determined and smart” Megan was and expressed how much she is loved and how lucky her and husband David Sanov are to have her as their daughter then closed out the message with, “Welcome to being a teenager!”
Happy 14th
In 2023, Sweeney posted an Instagram story featuring a birthday tiara, a plate and some flowers and shared, “Birthday breakfast for Megan.” She then posted a photo alongside her daughter and shared, “I can’t believe Megan is 14 years old! Where has the time gone? She makes me laugh every day. I’m so proud of my brave, determined and independent daughter. Happy Birthday Megan!”
Celebrating 15 years
“Megan, you make me laugh every day,” Sweeney shared in an Instagram story. “And you always keep us on our toes. We love you so much!”
Baking With Megan
In November 2024, Sweeney joined her daughter for a new series, Baking With Megan.
Christmas Fun With Mom
And during the holidays, Sweeney took her girl out for some “Christmas shopping.”
Sweet 16
For Megan’s special milestone birthday, Sweeney shared, “Happy sweet 16th birthday to my beautiful, brave, funny and smart daughter. We are so proud of you, Megan, and we can’t wait to see all you accomplish this year. We love you so much.”
