What a complete joy this sweet boy has been to our whole family.  He filled a space that was in all of our hearts.  He was a very much wanted and prayed for baby, especially by his big brother and sister.  They have been AMAZING.  They are so good to him and so good to me.  Such wonderful helper and I could not feel more lucky and proud to be the mother to these 3 AWESOME kids!
 
We of course had a "FIESTA" for Sam's party (Our little family tradition that started with Ella).  We ate taco soup and chips and yummy dips.  One of my sisters-in-law even made Jalapeno poppers.  We had a pinata (but couldn't figure out how to hang it inside so we put it on the ground and let the kids whack away!  It was great!

Opening gifts... he liked the boxes best.
 
It took Sam a bit to get into his smash cake but he eventually did. 

 
This first birthday party was especially tender because most likely Sam will be our last.
I wanted his baby stage to last longer but...
It was sure fun while it lasted!!!
Toddlerdom, here we come!
