Sayer's 1st Birthday Party

We celebrated Sayer's 1st Birthday Party with family and close friends on Saturday, December 19th. He had such a wonderful birthday party!

Sayer did a good job opening gifts, but after a while, once again, became more interested in the paper and tissue than he did the actual gift. In fact, Adrian and Sayer loved playing in one of the big boxes that one of his gifts was in. Had I known he would get such joy out of the simple things, Mike and I could have saved a lot of money on gifts :-)

Sayer's smash cake was extra special, as it was one that Aunt Jonalee, Aunt KiKi and Aunt Stacy gave him last year at our couples shower. I wrapped it and froze it and when it thawed the day of his party it was perfect. Little touches like that made the day even more special!

This little boy ate cake like every child should on his 1st birthday. At first he didn't know what to make of it, but after one small taste off of mom's finger, he became a mad man. Having 30+ people surrounding him laughing, clapping and cheering him on only fueled his fire to make a mess and throw cake everywhere.

At the end of it all, there was cake ALL OVER the floor, the walls, the window and the blinds. But, it was worth it 100%. The pictures, video and memories of that event will always be with us and everyone else who watched my son devour the smash cake, and Slayton's cupcake too!

Sayer is such a lucky little boy to be loved by so many great people! Thank you for making that day so special everyone and for coming to his party! You all mean the world to us!
