We went back to Kearney and celebrated Sawyer's 1st birthday and Sophie's 3rd birthday on Sunday afternoon with our families and Sawyer's Godparents. I don't know what I was thinking when I only rented the facility for 2 hours (including set-up and clean-up) to celebrate 2 kids' birthdays. :-) It was total controlled chaos, but the kids had fun. It was a beautiful day. Sawyer was fairly oblivious that the day was about him. Sophie took full glory in the attention. She was a hoot...pumping her arms at her gifts and taking bows when opening panties that she received (because she used to take bows when I would mention she was potty-trained to people.)Here are some pictures.
Great-Grandpa Hersh and Great-Grandma Edna Sheffield from Wilcox drove down for the party.
Great-Grandma Elaine from Axtell was able to attend as well!

The kids' cousin, Keaton, watching Sawyer opening the gift he gave him...one of his favorite toys at his house...a big Tonka truck. Yeah...a boy toy! Even the girls are thrilled!
Sophie had to have another rainbow cake for this party. I bought too many jelly belly's to make the first one. :-)
Sawyer's first look at his puppy cake...and proud big sister in the background. He makes puppy sounds now when he sees or hears a puppy.
He does like frosting!
Sawyer was just kind of overwhelmed by the whole thing...well, maybe not so much overwhelmed as that he didn't really even care. He didn't really dig into the gifts or the cake. I'm sure next year will be quite a different story.
Lainey was such the little helper at the party...showing off the gifts...making sure everybody knew what Sophie and Sawyer got...helping her younger sibling open their gifts, etc. etc. What a little party planner/organizer I have on my hands. :-)
