Sawyer’s Grandma and Grandpa Doernberg threw Sawyer the best birthday party Sawyer has ever had! Growing up, I always had great birthdays, and so the tradition continues for Sawyer. Grandma did the planning, and Grandpa did the pick-up and delivery. It was perfect.

He's one!

Is that Elmo?

Elmo?

No, it’s Sawyer! Grandpa did a great job selecting balloons.

There he is.

Grandma and the Birthday Boy

If you are wondering why Sawyer looks like a boxer, it is because he had a mishap a few days before his birthday. He is so quick! He walked up to the gas fireplace and touched the glass. I had checked the glass a few minutes prior, and it did not feel that hot. I was wrong. Crying, wailing, and blisters resulted in the hours and days following. Luckily, he was feeling slightly better by his birthday.

Waiting for cake.

Ooooo...cake

Diggers and scrapers are his favorite. Actually, anything with wheels will do!

Getting tired.

I had an amazing time too.
