On April 23rd we celebrated a very important event - Sam's tenth birthday.
There was an early family party in Montreal the week before and a second celebration on the actual day over Easter in Vermont.

| the sparklers were a hit! |
Both parties included yummy food and Sally made Sam's favorite lemon cake in Montreal.

Camping gear was this year's theme for most of the stuff as Sam wants to go camping this summer - and so it shall be! In fact the official kids party was a trip to Mount Sutton where they stayed in a cabin in the woods - and actually slept outside one night. The boys loved it so we are guessing the next time they stay here they just might pitch a tent in the garden!
Over the long Easter weekend we had good weather, delicious food and MORE presents! Michael arranged a horseback ride for the boys that they both really enjoyed. The horse was calm and friendly and BIG. It was one of Michael's very good finds and I suspect we shall take them back there.
Actually, they built themselves an outdoor structure and if it stops raining they could adventure out there- and be eaten alive by mosquitos.

All in all it was a very successful weekend! The next birthday celebration wil be greeting the arrival of the twins in May - soooo exciting...
