Happy Birthday Gavin!

Yesterday was Gavins 4th birthday. We started off the day by opening presents. Gavin had seen a diesel truck that we bought for his birthday almost 2 months ago. He has asked about his truck literally everyday for the past two months. He even found where we were hiding it. When he finally got to open this present yesterday, he actually screamed with delight. It was so sweet and funny. This is the first year where he really got into the birthday thing and knew it was his day and his presents. He was really good at sharing all his birthday gifts with Tyrone.









In the evening we went to a Ward party for Grandpa and Grandma Abbotts Ward where Grandpa was cooking. We had yummy Fajitas, Tacos, Watermelon, Icecream and best of all, Churros. The Ward had even rented two bounce houses, a Strawberry Shortcake and Spiderman, which happened to be the theme of Gavins party. There was also a little train going around the parking lot that was attached to a 4-wheeler. This was a huge hit with all the kids. Both Lucas' and some of my family were able to come to the Ward party which made it extra special. After dinner we went back to Grandma & Grandpa Abbotts house and had cake and opened presents. Gavin got lots of awesome presents and he made sure that all the presents were going home with him. We didn't get to bed till almost 10pm and both boys barely made it through bath time and were out in 5 minutes. What a day it was! I can't believe my baby is 4 years old.

How fun! That's awesome that you were able to work in the ward party with Gavin's birthday and there was even a Spiderman bounce house, I bet he was just thrilled! Lucas looks like he's just as excited as Gavin to see what's inside those presents! =)Happy birthday Gavin, you were born in the best month ever! =)

I can't believe your oldest is 4. When I met you he was just a little baby. Wow, how time flies! What a cute family you have.

As I was looking at this my three year Jack came in. He looked at your pictures and said, "oh cute, a firetruck." That'll make his dad proud. (well, except maybe for the "oh cute" part!)

What a great day! It looks like he had a great day. Can't wait to see your little girl! I bet you are ready for her to be here too. :)

I didn't realize Gavin and Maddox were the exact same age. We definitely need to get them together! I'm glad he had such a great birthday. I think it's funny that you have had that present forever and he knew it. I bet it just made it that much more exciting for him.

I doubt you remember me (we met like twice, a thousand years ago) but I know Lucas from way back. I thought I'd comment since I've been following your blog. I think you have the cutest boys. Their eyes are amazing.
