The Day Samuel Turned Two

Turning two really didn't seem to matter that much to Samuel until he actually realized it was his birthday.  We, of course, had to stay home with the baby being only 6 days old, but we wanted to make certain Samuel felt special on his big day.  So, here is his second birthday in pictures...

Enjoying his Sonic milkshake

the night before his actual birthday.

Waiting for Daddy to bring out

the surprise the morning of his birthday.

Happy to help.

Mimi came to visit and helped Samuel

with his dinosaur stickers.

Loving his SINGING Elmo card from

Aunt Cathy, Uncle Ricky,

Zach, and Anna Laura.

Listening to Elmo sing

"Happy Birthday" to him!

Ms. Jennifer also came to visit Samuel...

They went to the park, went down the slide,

and then fed the birds in our backyard.

Samuel ate most of his "bird food."

He loves crackers.
