Sam Is Three!

This weekend was a weekend of birthday parties. On Saturday, Sam celebrated his third birthday by having a party with three friends. Mom and Dad Dodson had wonderful eats from Paneras. The kids had chicken strips.



It seems that everyone was interested in little Nate. He was 12 days old on Saturday and was determined to enjoy the party.



Sam's cake was decorated with Lightning McQueen. For you folks that do not know Lightning, the cartoon character is from the animated Pixar film - Cars. Sam loves the film and has McQueen everything!


The blowing out of candles went without a hitch. Wonder what the sugar content will do to these young celebrants?


Elizabeth and Caroline were really enjoying the ice cream.



Sam opened his presents and who would have thought that a guy would get a fire eating dragon that is robotic? We had a hard time trying to keep the flames out of the rug! (Chuckle)



Uncle Tim and Aunt Velva came up with a neato gift - his first bicycle. It was a Lightning McQueen model, of course!



Caroline decided that it was time to play in the sandbox. Wait!



What is this critter in the yard?

This was a Grandpa and Grandma gift. It is a wiggling sprinkler caterpillar. The party concluded with water fun. Sam also received EIGHT water guns. Grandpa retreated inside for some reason!
