 The kids were so excited about my birthday this year that they came in before morning alarms with beautiful jewelry and cake for breakfast. Such a fun way to have breakfast with my family! Sawyer and I had lunch with Cinelle and Anouk but the pictures were all blurry :).

Our big 4 year old boy


Sawyer the Super hero turned 4 on Sunday. He asked for a Chuggington, Paw Patrol, Lego, Spider man, Star Wars, and Cars themed birthday party. Shew, we pulled it off by asking his friends to come as their favorite character and it was so fun! They rescued the super heroes (Easter-egg hunt style in the yard), showed their strength to escape being tied up, and had Spidery web practice (with silly string). Chocolate cake with peanut butter topped off our fun celebration for our 4 year old. 

Sawyer loves playing with Ben Bruce, Spider man, his school, dirt, rocks and trucks, building trains, sleeping with Alice every night, being near his Mama, bike rides, his daily TV show, trips to the library, baking chocolate chip scones, matching and sorting, cutting and coloring, peanut butter (no jelly!), and many more. He's tough and sensitive, busy and quiet, shy and brave. . .and a whole lot of fun that we love having in our family.
