Out of the Terrible Two's

Happy Birthday Sawyer!

3

We started by celebrating early with aunt Aileen. She flew out especially to take him out for his birthday. She took him to Build-a-Bear which is her tradition for when her nieces/nephews turn three. Sawyer picked out a monkey and named him Chocolate Chip.

And with celebrating Aileen (on her birthday)!

Sawyer's birth date: May 25! (Super secret: This year we moved his birthday to the 26th. I even changed it on the calendar so the kids had no idea we were celebrating it late! It's way more fun to celebrate with dad home from work!)

We invited a few friends over to celebrate! Isla, Caroline, and Shauna! (We did invite a couple of boys too, they just couldn't make it). We had ham and cheese waffles with watermelon, played FREEZE dance, tossed balloon back and forth between partners, and ate chocolate cupcakes. Smiley, giggly, silly, energetic kiddos.
