Sam, Sam, the birthday man!

I can now easily rattle off my children's ages again without stopping to think where the gap falls: they're 5, 4, 3 and 2. This only happens for a quarter of the year (the rest of the year there's a gap somewhere or other) so I'm enjoying it while I can!

Samuel enjoyed himself today as well.

Joshua, Anna, Abigail and Samuel's three 'godsisters' (the daughters of his godparents) singing "Happy Birthday" to Samuel:Sam blew out his candles with help from Mummy and Joshua. I didn't realise when we lit them, but we accidentally used those trick self relighting candles. A bit difficult for a little man of 2 to handle all by himself.Without comparing notes, Samuel's Grandma & Grandad, Granny & Gramps and Jeff & I all gave him little trucks to play with. He loves each and every one of them.And here's a close-up of the birthday 'man':Sam received a new hat from his godparents (and a new t-shirt) and, loving all brim hats as he does, he took to it quickly. He put it on the instant he unwrapped his present and didn't take it off until his bath after dinner. In this photo, he's running to his godmother to thank her with a kiss.

He's getting so big! What a wonderful cake he had!
If going on three with Sam is as mischievous as it has been for Tobias, fasten your seatbelts! :)

Happy Birthday, Sam!
