"CARS"!!!!

Sam is two. We had a "Cars", or as he says "Trucks" themed party for him yesterday. I made his cake the night before. As I was taking it out of the fridge and putting on the table in the morning I almost dropped it and scattered some "dirt" onto the "grass". Oh well, at least I didn't drop it. From the time I put the cake on the table until his party, Sam kept sneaking into the dining room to take Lightning McQueen and Chick Hicks off the cake.

We played a few games, of which I didn't get any pictures, fishing with Mater for cars, custom paint jobs with Ramone (they got to color pictures of Lightning McQueen) and driving with Doc (they all took turns driving a power wheel around the yard). I think the power wheel was the big hit of the party. We also did a Lightning McQeen pinata.

Singing Happy Birthday to Sam and Shelby.

Sam blowing out his candles. He did a pretty good job of not spitting on the cake.

As soon as he blew the candles out the cars were his.

Let's have some cake.


Sam enjoying his cake for a second. He only took a bite or two before he was ready to move on and play with his new cars.

All the kids enjoying cake and ice cream.

Opening presents. Sam would not let go of his two new cars from the cake to open his presents. He held onto them the entire time. He really enjoyed watching the other kids "helping" him open his presents and was so excited about each and every new present.

His new dump truck from Papa Mel and Grandma Paula. He fits inside. *Note: he's still holding on to 2 cars.

Down to the last presents and still he's clutching his 2 cars. He has since let go of those cars and really does love all the presents that he got. He lines up all his cars several times a day and puts them in his dump truck, he also likes to drive his cars on his "Cars" rug. He loves all the books, we've read stories from all of the them. He was also super excited to discover that his new markers make animal noises.

He had a super exciting day and had fun playing with all the kids.
