Samuel’s 1st Birthday

We celebrated Samuel’s birthday a week early, since we had some family in town and figured he wouldn’t know the difference. Kryssi made him his own little smash cake, which he sort of ate some but mostly just made a mess.

Came upstairs after putting the kids to bed one night to see this raccoon eating the cat food. Our cat just sat there and watched him.

Samuel likes to get up early but it’s always nice to snuggle up under a warm blanket

He was super excited to see his presents when he woke up (yes, he likes sleeping with no clothes on)

He was super excited about all his presents this year. You can hear him gasp a bit in the video above and then his voice gets really high as he’s so excited. He did that for pretty much every present he opened, which made it fun for us.

It was kind of windy outside so I ended up relighting these candles a few times during the song.
