Pool Party: Saturday, July 11, 2009.
Actual Birthday: Sunday, July 12, 2009.
Celebration at Papa's House: Monday, July 13, 2009.
The calm before the storm. This is before the boys came over. The pic on the card is my poorman's rendition of a mack truck like on the movie Cars. Nut and Beeju have both been obsessed with that show for months now. So I made the "Sam Mack" for the card's cover.
Cute little guy was out of his mind with excitement as soon as he walked in the door and noticed presents and a card waiting for him. Here he is peeking inside his card while I scrambled to get a pic or two before the mayhem of present opening began.
After looking at his card, Nutty wouldn't put it down. That boy opened all of his presents one-handed. And as you'll see below, he wasn't about to let go of it anytime soon.
After you put the two gigantic puzzles together, you take them apart in a certain order and stack the pieces on top of each other to make this 3-D image of Lightning McQueen. Nutty had moved on to greener pastures at this point (those puzzles took a while!), but Big Brother was enthralled.
This was a few hours later. Nutty was still holding tight to his card. At his insistence, it eventually made it into bed with him. Talk about melting a Papa's heart. My love for that boy knows no bounds. Happy birthday, Sam! Daddy loves you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much!!
