A Year To The Day

Well, technically it was a year to yesterday, but we decided to celebrate today. Happy 1st Birthday Sammy! Wow, what a difference a year makes!?! This time last year we were becoming new parents. Now, I can't really remember what it was like not having Sam in our lives. He is the definition of joy and the epitome of family to me. Today we celebrated his turning one year old and what a celebration it was. The beginning of the celebration took us to Toys 'R' Us.

This was a cool trip as we strolled up and down each aisle to allow Sam to view all of the toys and select the ones he liked. He definitely had preferences to which of the million toys he wanted to play with.

Next, we had a party with Grandma Karen and Grandpa Calvin (Tif's parents) which was loads of fun. They bought him a "little" (yeah right) red wagon. Sammy loves it!

Tif decided it would be cool to bake individual chocolate cakes using a small bundt cake mold (thanks to Chili's "Chocolate Molten Cake") so that Sam could really have fun.

Wow! What a time it was watching the little dude really "get into" eating his cake.

By the end there was nothing but a messy little boy and a candle. Happy Birthday Baby Boy!
