Samuel's 2nd Birthday Party

January 21, 2012


Samuel's Bowman relatives all arrived at 47 de la rivière on Saturday to help him and his parents celebrate.  There were Wanda, Stephanie, Valarie & Grant, and the three of us.


Kirk and Karine had a lot of baby things to pass on to Val and Grant for their baby boy, who is due in April. We took the occasion to take some family portraits.

We brought Sam a birthday ring toss game, which provided some entertainment until our Grant's bouncing sit-on musical turtle was brought out.  It was an instant hit.  Wanda brought Sam an interesting book, which he will enjoy when things settle down. Of course, Sam displayed his usual interest in popping bubble wrap.

Karine and Kirk prepared a really super dinner which we all enjoyed. The highlight was Samuel's fish birthday “gateau”.  He blew out the candles and happily got right into the blue icing.
