Sam turned two on Tuesday!! It makes me happy and sad at the same time, he's growing up way too fast and I can't keep up. The weekend before, we went to the "Spirit of the Hills" wildlife sanctuary in Spearfish with some grandparents and cousins to celebrate. It was a really fun place for kids and adults and I recommend checking it out sometime. All the animals had really interesting backstories. Anyway, after the "zoo", we went to the city park in Spearfish for some BBQ and cupcakes. Sam opened his presents and got loaded up with toys and clothes, and a birthday card that plays Alvin and the Chipmunks singing "Won't you take me to Funky Town" (that was a hit). All the kids played on the massive playground at the park, and exhausted themselves. It was a very quiet trip back to Gillette ;)
On his actual birthday, we just did pizza (his favorite meal) and opened presents from us. He's such a sweet little boy and he brings a ton of joy to our lives. He did start exhibiting some signs of the terrible twos however. On his birthday, he learned how to use the word "mine" and he uses it often and loudly now. The next year should be interesting!!
