Today my little Sam is 3 years old!\u00a0 We celebrated with a family party on Saturday.\u00a0 Sam had a smashing time.\u00a0 He’s such a big kid now.\u00a0 So talkative, so creative, so adorable!<\/p>\n

The night before I set up streamers, balloons, presents, and a new play tent.\u00a0 The tent was an immediate hit.\u00a0 Sam reacted on the stairs like it was a magical Christmas morning.

Later (eons later it seemed) (my scheduling, but kid anxiety made it seem like forever) the family was gathered for a midday brunch.\u00a0

Sam soon proved to be an expert at present unwrapping.

Jack was a super older brother.\u00a0 He help back very well and let Sam really enjoy opening the presents.\u00a0 Jack also quickly inspected each one for age appropriateness and share-ability.\u00a0

(Sam fell on his face a few days prior, his teeth cut both the inner and outer bottom lip.\u00a0 That’s the black scab you see on his face.)

For months (literally!) Sam has been asking for a Bob the Minion birthday cake.\u00a0 I think it turned out lovely! (Though I’m miffed the cake was dry.\u00a0 I even used a cake soak!)

We went to the mall for playtime and shopping.\u00a0 The boys each got a Build-A-Bear and they are their new best buds.\u00a0

Earlier in the day Sam declared that he wanted to get ice cream.\u00a0 We delivered.\u00a0
\"Sam's<\/a>\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js<\/a><\/p>\n

Spoiled with a train ride through the mall.\u00a0 Always fun!
\"Sam's<\/a>\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js<\/a><\/p>\n

And we found a little playground for a quick stop before dinner at Red Robin.\u00a0

An exhausted and happy three-year-old climbed into his new toddler bed for a long night’s sleep.\u00a0 Happy Birthday Samwise Storm!
