On July 16th, our little Sam turned 3. It's sort of hard to believe. A lot of times I look around our house and think, wow I cannot believe I'm this old, and who are these short noisy people living with us?
Sam got two parties - one with each side of the family. I decided after his 1-year birthday party with over 75 guests and over 100 degree weather, that our kids don't need a party with friends past the first bday until they have enough of their own true friends to make it worthwhile. Best decision I've ever made.
With Frank's family, we went to John's Incredible Pizza. Sam loved EVERYTHING - the roller coaster, the miniature bowling alley, the games, the food - it was a hit!
So excited!
Big bad 3 year old!
Made cupcakes for my favorite boy <3
Then, we had a nice stay at home party on his actual birthday with my family. For various reasons I had to decorate with what we had around the house, and while I may end up being featured on that Regretsy website, Sam loved it and I heard him screaming "Look at the colors! And IT'S MY NAME!!!" Why are our names so cool as little kids? Name obsession and stickers...stickers are the most valuable currency in the under-10 world.
I loved my Alphie when I was little - and he's back! :)
We made all of Sam's favorite foods - cheeseburgers, hot dogs (nitrate free!), homemade buns, corn, baked beans, organic mac and cheese, and lemonade.
My mom rocked the coordinated gift wrap.
I am so playing with this when he isn't ;)
Happy birthday, Samasaurus. You've come so far, and we are so grateful to know you!
