happy birthday, sam!!

today sam turned the big 6!  seems kind of crazy to me.  6 seems so old!  in 2 years he'll be getting baptized!  yikes!

sam has been talking about his birthday party for a couple months.  i was really trying to do the every other year thing and since he had a party last year I was hoping we could just do a family thing this year.  but we gave in:)  i think he looks forward to having a birthday party all year long.  so I'm glad we did it.

although, it was complete madness.  seriously.  from the second it started i think bronson and I were both ready for it to be over.  we had 15 kids here.  13 boys and 2 girls.  i let him make his own list of who he wanted to invite.  its hard knowing where to draw the line with the list.  so we just invited everyone on his list.  and everyone came.  except cousins luke and finn.  it was fun meeting his friends from his kindergarten class that he hangs around with:)

minus the fights here and there between a few kids it went pretty well.  we had pizza, cake and ice-cream and played a few games.  

now bronson, sam and henry are sitting on the floor building all the fun lego sets he got.  he really got spoiled.  

happy birthday, sammy!  we love you!
