Sam's Big Day

As September approaches, the countdown begins.  "Only 13 more days to my birthday!"  And on and on until the day FINALLY arrives!  And now we have a nine year old on our hands.  He doesn't look at all happy about it, does he?

For the big night we had (at Sam's request) Little Caesars pizza and Orange Crush while we watched The Lorax.
Here is the happy birthday boy with his dragon cake...
 
I liked this one of Carter and Sam.  Evidence that there is love at home sometimes...

Here we are singing "Happy Birthday" to Sam...

Here is Carter's reaction to our singing...

Taming the fiery dragon, or in other words, blowing out the candles...

Happy Birthday Sam!  We love you!
