This is going to be primarily the Sam Birthday Party Edition. (Sam is the child of good friends of mine.) I took more than 500 photos when we went hiking last Saturday and 800 at Sam’s party on Sunday. Therefore, I was so NOT in the mood to pick up a camera until this happened yesterday (and then the cat was just being cute, so I kept taking pictures). Then, my friend Sarah got her new puppy. So yesterday I took about 100 photos. And now, on to the photos…
The birthday boy’s portrait…
I love the light on his face.
Pretty soon he’ll be old enough for REAL keys.
Opening presents is thirsty work.
Cake!
And we thought THIS was messy.
Ha! He’ll show us how messy is REALLY done!
I know there’s WAY too much head room in this one, but I love it just the way it is.
Sweet boy all cleaned up. With keys.
I see the light!
And the obligatory cat photos. (I only borrowed the baby from my friends.)
Asbury…
Bella, the new member of Sarah’s family.

Awwww… All just so darn adorable! I am afraid to have candles going much of the time because of concern that one of my kitties will find that little spot, so I had to laugh when I read your post about yesterday’s kitty wanderings =^..^=

Great shots! I love the messy faced cake shots and I see the light, though the baby boy’s portrait is my favorite I think!
Happy Birthday young man!
I love the first one with the keys and the cute way he sits on his knees!
He did make a very messy mess huh, great shots, I love them!

My wife doesn’t let me eat cake like that anymore, especially when we go out for dinner. SIGH. I’m so envious! :-)

How funny!!! So cute - seriously smiling. I can’t think of the name of the sesame st. character but I love him. Great post. Oh, and I like your angles too…
Stop on over at my place if you have time ( Ren Fest – Weekly Winner). I have just one pic, so it shouldn’t take long. I’ll serve you a beverage. We can hang out.
Have a great week *smackies*
Elmo is the “Sesame Street” character you’re looking for. :)

Beautiful ♥ adorable little boy - one of my twins is a Sam
Your little friend Sam likes Elmo huh and cake !
I like the cat too ;)
thanks for visiting me
My Little Drummer boys
OMG the cake shots…. What a wonderful mess! Being the boring mom I am I gave my oldest carrot cake on his first birthday. I’d be more fun if I could go back.
Sam’s cheeks look edible. I’d like a nibble WITHOUT cake, though.
