Sam's Birthday Party

On Saturday, our house was filled with family and friends who came to celebrate Sam's second birthday. It was so fun! Sam was a real trooper. He did get overwhelmed by the end of the party, but frankly, so did I. He only had one moment of really questionable behavior.

Sam was doing a great job avoiding the gifts that were piling up - until Grandpa Mark and Grandma Tina showed up. They brought a big box that was covered in Cars wrapping paper. Sam had a piece ripped off before I got it away from him and hid the presents in a locked room.

Thanks to Grandpa Mark who took these FANTASTIC pictures!

Once the presents were brought out, Sam threw himself on the Cars box.

He was slightly panicked - he needed ALL of the paper off, right away. There was a train set in there!

After piles of gifts, he was thrilled to get a bag of fruit snacks. He screamed and held them up for everyone to see.

And here it is - Sam's new tricycle! Jackie, Mike, Miranda, and James spent hours planning and shopping to find the perfect bike for Sam. I thought about cropping this picture to get a better look at Sam - but just look at how happy everyone else is for the little guy!
