Yesterday we had your one-year-old birthday party here at the house on the deck and in the back yard. There is so much to write about but I wanted to write down what your daddy and I thought was the best part first.
Your daddy says: "I think the most fun was watching Sammy eat the smash cake. You are such a little entertainer. You really like having everybody watch you and you're so cute!"
Mommy says, "I enjoyed watching you eat the cake to and seeing you wearing your little birthday hat. You held up so good throughout the whole day while everybody was here and you really had fun visiting with everybody and walking around the yard holding sticks.
We do want to tell you that we are sorry for the incident that happened that caused you to cry. We took a picture in the photo booth and put on a adhesive mustache and it was very cute and everyone really liked seeing you in it. You got to bed around that your lip and tried to lick it. However when it was time for the mustache to come off it was stuck. The actual mustache part came off but the backing stayed on your lip. When we were picking at it to take it off you got really upset and crying so daddy and I took you inside and took it off in the living room. It's one of those things that you hate to laugh at someone when they fall down but sometimes you can't help it. I guess what was cute about it was the profile of the adhesive was still on your lip and that looked funny. You were a big boy and got over it pretty quickly and went back to playing.
Your guest list included: Miss Janet and her husband Mr. David, grand dad and Beverly, Grandmere and Bill, nana, aunt Angela, uncle Duane and Alex. Katie and Molly and Rowan,Ralph and Laura, Gordon and Julie and Gordie, Carolyn, Monica & Jason, Ansley and Cohen and Mrs Bouchillon. Mr. Jerry and Ms. Susan from next-door came also and brought their two grandsons. Later in the day we had our next-door neighbors come over and some neighbors come from down the street
They have 2 kids each and they played in the yard. You had fun watching them.
Your birrthday party theme was circus/carnival so we had little games set up around the yard with signs for the bigger kids. Your treats included popcorn, cracker jacks, lollipop cookies, hot dogs, Mac & cheese, brisket sliders and some good appetizers.
We did your cake about halfway through the party and everyone just has so much fun watching you. First year mostly interested in playing with the cake and putting your fingers all in it but then when you tasted it you really enjoyed it and were eating a lot of it. You ate about half of it and then I said,"how much cake should we let him eat?" and Mrs.Janet said, "that's a lot more than most people let them eat", so we took it away and changed your shirt. :). Your cake look like a little circus tent with red, white and blue icing. The cupcakes we had made for everybody looked like little buckets of popcorn.
You got lots of presents and we didn't finish opening them so we plan on doing that today. You may actually get some of these presents for Christmas :). Cohen was helping you open your presents which was really cute. Ansley and Cowan probably love you the most next to me and your daddy and Grandmere and Nana :).
It was a beautiful day,
and we are so happy to celebrate the first year of a little boy that we love so much and think is the most precious thing in the world!
Happy first birthday our dearest Samuel!
