Happy Birthday Samuel!
You are so incredibly precious to us and we love you more than you know!
This is the boy who has so wonderfully changed our lives. Our first little bundle of joy, has now grown into a handsome, sweet, thoughtful and kind boy. He is athletic, smart, creative, inventive, fun, friendly, sensitive, and considerate - and he loves the Lord. What more could we ask for as parents?
Here is one last picture we took of our boy as a 7 year old...
...because now we have a big 8 year old!!! On Friday, August 19 we celebrated Samuel's 8th birthday!
That's right everyone! No more booster seats for this guy!
We had a yummy birthday breakfast & watched him open up some awesome gifts for his birthday. He was wishing for his own drone - and surprise! He was so excited!
(Flying his drone has since become one of his favorite pastimes. He practices almost every day and has become very good at it!)
Then we got ready and spent the day as a family at Legoland & the waterpark!
That evening we met up with both sets of Grandparents and had a special dinner together at Buca di Beppo.
On Saturday we invited all of Samuel's grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins over for a fun "Minute-to-Win-it" themed birthday party. Everyone had a blast!
Some of the favorite games we played were: Nutstacker...
...Suck It Up...
...Cookie Face...
...Defy Gravity...
...Movin' On Up...
...and Junk in the Trunk!
After all the games were played, we tallied the scores, and since Samuel's birthday happened to be during the Summer Olympic Games, we played the Olympic Fanfare song in the background as we passed out the candy bar "medals" to all the kids who participated!
And then prizes for the 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners, Laylie, Adam & Jason!
Next it was time for bbq, cupcakes & presents. The kids loved decorating their own cupcakes at the sprinkle bar. :)
We were so blessed to see Samuel having so much fun on his birthday. This boy is so loved!!!
Happy, Happy Birthday, darling boy!
