Sam 1st Birthday Party

Where has the time going? Sam has reached his first birthday and we celebrated it on Sunday with a party. A small gathering of people joined us to eat cake with Sam and help him open his presents. He was lucky enough to have not one, but two birthday cakes (one being a Diary Queen Ice Cream cake!). Some of the highlights were clothes from Virginia, the Fireman Sam outfits from Granny and Grandad in the UK, the Noah Ark toy set from the Player Family and of course a cuddly toy from Uncle Scott. Also he now owns his first pair of shoes in preparation for future walking. Sam enjoyed the cake a little too much and as the photo shows looks a little guilty afterwards... although it was extremely tasty. Sam would like to thank everyone for his gifts and cards that arrived from around the globe.

The weather proved to be poetic as it snowed, exactly a year to the day when we were rushing to the hospital with Nancy in labour. That fateful night in 2011 also provided snow and a slightly worrying time for the car journey.
