Choo Choo!

Yesterday we had Sam's 2nd birthday party.  His birthday is on Thursday, but this past weekend was the best time to have his party.  We had a train come and the kids played in the yard.  A good time was had by all, especially Sam.  I still can't believe that our "Baby Sam" is about to be two.  I still remember, like it was yesterday, when Ted introduced dad to Samuel Upchurch Holt and seeing the tears immediately fall down his face.

Here are way to many pictures for all those who could not be there.  I already posted them on Facebook, but these are for those who do not have a FB account - mom and chollet!

His ckae matched his invitation and was the cutest cake we have ever had!

Sam woke up from his nap and went straight to the train!

He wanted to drive right away!

Checking out the horn.  Beep!

No really, let me drive this thing!

Cher Cher and Papa brought a "BIIIG TRUCK"

All smiles

I am "TWO" (still working on the right number of fingers)

The Bruno boys - Paul Vincent is Ann Park's best friend!  He was a little shy at first but warmed right up once the party got going.

Look!  Mommy made it in a picture because she took it of herself!

Silly Papa!

Sam on his birthday present from Mommy and Daddy - A Buzz Lightyear riding toy!  Sam was in heaven the minute he saw it and refused to get off the thing - he even ate dinner on it while riding.  He cried so hard when we made him take a bath and go to bed.  He kept on asking for his "Buzz 4 wheeler."  And it was the first words out of his mouth when I woke him up this morning.

Some Holt eyes

the last train ride of the day!

and guess who was on it?  All Holts!
