Greetings - Yes it is normal. When you close the door, the warm air that got into the cabinet while the door was open creates a vacuum inside the cabinet. Over time this vacuum is broken and the door opens easily. When you put food in the freezer, the vacuum will not last as long.
The vacuum means the door gasket on the freezer is sealing good.
