This past Saturday we celebrated the birthdays of both Nick (Oct. 10th -turned 6) and Sam (Oct. 21st – turned 2). While only about half the kids were able to make it, it was a very lively scene and lots of fun. As you may have guessed, the theme was Hotwheels/racecars. We started with some games. The first, conceived by Jenn’s dad, was a ping pong toss game. It was a little difficult to keep the kids in line and Sam and his friend Connor were more interested in moving the buckets around and grabbing the balls. 
The next game was “Pin the License Plate on the Car”. We intended for the younger kids to be able to color some race car pictures but that proved to be popular for all ages and we had to print more of them. After eating hot dogs and chips for lunch the kids also got to have a race of their own. They took turns playing 4-player Mario Cart for the Game Cube. Finally it was time to sing “Happy Birthday” and cut up the delicious race track cake that Jenn made. As you can see in the photos, Sam took particular enjoyment in eating the cake, and the frosting…ooh the frosting! 
It was so cute watching them sit on the couch together and open presents. 
Nick couldn’t wait to rip open his presents but had trouble being patient as we waited for Sam to (more slowly) open his. With all the excitement, games and sugar, the party’s end came at just the right time for Sam. He had a lot of fun but was ready for naptime. To see all the pictures, head over to the media albums! While there, also check out the hilarious “Happy Birthday To Sam” video.
