It's a Family Affair!

Sunday Evening we had the great honor and fun of having Sawyer's extended family over for another birthday celebration! We had chicken enchiladas, Mexican rice, grilled veggies, salad, chips, salsa, queso dip and guacamole!

We spent most of the evening down in the basement where there was more room for everyone to spread out! After dinner, we headed out to the garage to carve some pumpkins! (I recruited Bill and two of his friends to hollow them out the evening before so we didn't have to get messy!)

Sawyer and Daddy working on their master piece!

Aunt Lynn, cousin Halie and cousin Ashley hard at work!

Uncle Bruce and cousin Mya (She and Sawyer are only a few months apart and just have the best time whenever they get together!)

(L to R Top: Great Grandpa Rick, Hailie, Ashley, Papa, Daddy, uncle Jeff & Aunt Lynn.

Time for Presents!!!! He opened up the card that Mya brought and when it opens, it says, "Happy Birthday Super Hero!" and being as how Sawyer, LOVES talking cards, it totally stole the show! Every other card after that just couldn't hold up :) He got completely spoiled with all the wonderful and thoughtful gifts that he received! (puzzles, jammies from Maine, Handy Many construction kit, dominoes, matching games, leapster map and an awesome game system from Nana and Papa!)

The other big gift that he got was this fun train table that his great grandparents got for him!

Once again Nana Kathy blew us out of the water with this awesome Jack-O-Lantern cake with glowing eyes and leaves made out of sugar cookies and chocolate molds! It was a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting! D-Lish!

We had such a fun time hanging out with the family and catching up on what has been going on! Thank you all so much for coming and celebrating Sawyer's 4th Birthday with us!
