Samuel's 2nd Birthday

Welcome to Samuel's Vroom Vroom Party.  Here are a few of the decorations I used.  I scurried around all morning getting stuff hung up and keeping him entertained.  

This pennant went FOREVER!  I wrapped it all the way around the dining room and living room and then still had enough to go all the way up the hallway. 

Here's all the food.  It's sort of hard to tell, but the Rice Krispie treats have M & Ms to look like stop lights, the chocolate donuts have white icing in the middle to make them look like tires, the sausage balls and cheese cubes have little racing flags. 

No, I didn't come up with all of that by myself.  The internet was SUPER helpful. 

We planned Samuel's party for 3:00. Samuel usually naps from 12-2. 2 hours tops.  Saturday, I had to wake him up at 2:45!  It took him so long to "wake up" and get un-cranky.  He came into the living room and laid down like this. 



Amid all these guests. 

When it came time to open presents, Samuel wanted no part of it. 



So the other kids opened for him. They were so sweet. Reese was in total shock about how it was possible that someone wouldn't want to open presents. 



 Okay, well, maybe these presents aren't so bad...

He got this guitar from Aunt Jess. He LOVED it. He held it and played it while we sang Happy Birthday to him.  He wouldn't put it down even to eat the cake!
