Happy Birthday, Sawyer!

Today we are celebrating our Sweet Sawyer's 12th birthday!!

This photo was taken on their final day of this years home schooling program. They love their ice cream!!

Not only are we celebrating his birthday, but we are celebrating the fact that his recent surgery to remove several concerning spots on his face and body came back as NO CANCER!! We are so thankful for God's continued mercies on this young man (& our entire family) 

He has to endure so much with his XP condition (Xyroderma Pigmentosum) so when we got these great results we knew we would need to celebrate.

Born on the 4th of July - he is our little firecracker!! Many times I will gear his birthday card around the 4th of July theme. This year one of my team members, Debbie, made such a cute card to share with us, that I asked her to make one for me to give to Sawyer. He loved the spinner part of the card. (the center candle topper spins)

I put together this little goodie for him - he loves to work in the kitchen and now he can make a cake for his family. Debbie had a similar treat tray and I copied her. It's hard to see in this photo, but I found a foil pan has an American flag design.

I also made up some goodie bags for all of the little grands - Each bag contains a Little Debbie, a Ring Pop, and a bottle of bubbles all themed with Red, White & Blue.  

The little treats in front contain R-W-B Tootsie Rolls which I had to purchase on Amazon because I couldn't find any R-W-B candies in the stores.

Sawyer chose to go to Applebee's restaurant for his birthday dinner with Bumpa & Yaya.

His choice was Chicken Strips, Mac 'n Cheese & Chocolate Milk.

After dinner out we went to the store to let him pick out his birthday gift. He chose a Hot Wheels City, Mega Loop Garage. He loves to build things with his daddy and he loves to play with cars. He even had a bonus - the set he chose was on sale 1/2 price!!

Today their family came for a burger fry. The hardest part is that we can never sit outside to have a picnic because Sawyer cannot be in the sun. We make do, though. Mommy had a migraine so she stayed home to be quiet and rest, while the rest of the (very noisy) gang came here.

I think all Oliver ate was watermelon and chips

Enjoying their 4th of July bubbles

and in this photo you can see our new patio!!
