happy birthday sawyer d!


today my baby boy is three.
holey moley....three years just flew right by me.
i swear, i just brought that tiny dark-headed baby boy home from the hosptial. 
and what a stinkin' delight that boy has been.
his smile and voice lights up a room.
i am so happy to celebrate him today.

this weekend we had a little party for him.
i wasn't quite sure who to invite.... i wanted to keep it small enough that it was fun for him.
if i invited all of our friends with kids...it would have been insane.
so i kept it to a few of his little friends that he sees and plays with the most often.


it was perfect.
it was probably the easiest and most fun party i have ever done.

we had two activities...playing & cookie decorating. 



they happily played outside for a long while {with the dads "supervising."}


when the kids arrived they played in the playroom a bit and then played outside until it was time to decorate cookies. 



this party was so simple, but so fun.

*$2 boxes of sugar cookies from the walmart bakery
*homemade frosting {yum}
*tons of sprinkles
*gumdrops
*gummy worms
*skittles
*m&m's (leftover from halloween)
*juiceboxes
*grapes & caramel popcorn for snack
*plates & napkins from walmart
*craft paper to cover the table
*paper cups (from dollar tree) to hold toppings


i got a dollar bag o' balloons from walmart and hung them from the ceiling with thumbtacks.
sawyer loved that.



i think the kids all enjoyed decorating and eating their cookies.
i had clear bags for them to take what they didn't eat home.



we had water, coffee & grownup snacks available as well.



we really enjoyed sawyer's party.
it was fun to visit with friends, was pretty calm and was randomly very little mess.

happy birthday my sweet sawyer daniel!
i love you so!

  2. What a fun birthday party...I love the balloon idea, I think I'm gonna have to try! And of course Sawyer is a cutie pie, my 2 & a half year old is named Preston Sawyer so I'm partial to his name. : ) You're such a great mom!
