Sam's 2nd Birthday!

Nearly two weeks have passed since Sam's 2nd birthday on December 8th.  We've been busy since then but the day is still fresh in my mind.
The first thing Sam said when he woke up on his birthday (after Ben said Happy Birthday to him) was, "It's my birthday!  I get cake!"

Sam with a new Skippyjon Jones book and toy from Ben.

Bug puppets from Grandma and Grandpa which promptly were flown around the house and landed on Mommy's back.

Skippyjon and the Big Bones from Nan and Teddy! 

LEGOS!!! from Auntie Beth, Uncle Pete and Kayla.

Checking out the LEGO loader and dump truck after waiting very patiently

for Mommy to put them together (about 35 minutes of being patient).

The loader right before it was dismantled for the first time.

Sam's cake which we decorated while he was napping (the heart-shaped pan was chosen by Ben).

Sam's birthday dinner request: homemade cheese pizza!

PIZZA!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you....

...Happy Birthday, dear Sam....

...Happy Birthday to you!

Making a wish.
