Sami's 1st Birthday Party

I was so happy to have so many friends and family come to Sami's birthday party. Both sets of Grandparents, friends from Austin and Houston... and Dynamo Diesel?!?!?!

First Dynamo Diesel (since he's doesn't really fit the Cupcake birthday theme!) As season ticket holders, we were able to pick from a list of fun things as gifts. Mark loved the idea of having Dynamo Diesel at Sami's party. We now know that the kids need to be a little older to really appreciate it, but we had fun!
Mark was so excited to have Diesel in his own living room. It was fun to see him just a little giddy. He went and changed his shirt and everything  :)

Having Diesel here was a great idea. Something that not everyone can say they had... the kids did pretty well- only a few tears. Even the adults got in on the fun and posed for pictures.

Mark is hoping to have a future soccer player in his arms!


Now, on to the rest of the party!


The weather was perfect, the food was great, and Sami got to see her "Aunties" from Austin that she doesn't get to see very often!
Auntie Shelli, Titi Monica and Titi Becky

  

The kids had a ball playing with the toys that Sami had opened on her birthday, but there were even MORE present..... she kind of lost interest after a while... she just wanted to eat them!


I wanted to have something for everyone when it came to cake, here is what we had:


By this time, Sami is an old pro at the whole cake thing!


 
Prepare for another cake-eating montage....



She turned this cake into TOAST!!!!!


It was another day of special celebration. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Sami has made this past year an incredible adventure and we are lucky to have suck a blessed life.
