Happy Party {Sawyer's 3rd Birthday}

We interrupt all the Christmas posts for Sawyer's birthday.

This year we decided to forgo a big birthday party in favor of a small family party and it was perfect. Sawyer did get one very special treat...his best friend and cousin is moving away soon so we decided it was a good time to have his 1st sleepover!

Once all the guests left Kyle constructed a fort for Sawyer and Gracie. They sat in the fort with their popcorn and M&M's watching Toy Story. Once the movie was over so were they :) The whole idea of sleeping in the fort was proving to not be very effective. So we let them lay down in the guest bedroom together. They talked and conspired for quite while. In the end the excitement was too much for them to handle and at 11 pm I laid down with them. Gracie quickly fell asleep but Sawyer just couldn't shut his eyes. He requested to go to his own bed where he promptly fell asleep. I guess they are a little young for a true sleepover but I think they had fun :)

Sawyer and Gracie quickly caught on and worked together

he got really embarrassed when we sang Happy Birthday

 but he was a pro at blowing out candles

 I think the red cupcakes were a hit

he loved opening gifts...finally :)

movie, popcorn, and M&M's could it get any better?

I think Sawyer would agree that his 3rd birthday party was a success!

A 3 year update will come soon. I'm waiting until after his 3 year well child visit.
