Sam Shaffer, Age 4



Sam had an official Birthday Party this year with "friends." We decided to have it at the Swim Club we belong to. It seemed like a great idea, but we didn't take into account lugging all the food from the house to the car to the swim club, and setting up for a party away from home. The kids all swam for an hour or so, and a HUGE thanks to Auntie Kerri who "supervised" Sam's swimming so Mom and Dad could get ready for the party. Then we played a few party games (good job dad!), and had burgers and hot dogs, along with cupcakes for the birthday boy. Sam cashed in on the gifts. We took pictures of the attendees, then Grandpa Shaffer went to work with his laptop and cordless printer printing the pictures to send home with the kids as a party favor. Back at home, Sam enjoyed 3 days of birthday with the party at the swim club on Saturday, with the Shaffer's on Sunday, and then with the Keefers on Monday (his actual birthday). Sam can rip open his presents, and move on to the next gift before you can say "what did you get?"

Sam models his shark goggles and shark fin snorkel.
