Super Sam's Birthday Fun

Sam's birthday was so much fun this year! I think last year that I thought that 3 was the beginning of really understanding the whole celebrating a birthday thing, but 4 is so much better. Sam was great with anticipation and amazingly he didn't do that whole meltdown on your birthday because it's too much excitement thing. He loved his cakes, his celebration at school, his party, and his presents. Here are some pics!

The snake cakes we brought to school

Sam got to help tell a special story at school and we were invited to come in
