Gavin's 8th Birthday!
February 26, 2010
Gavin is definitely growing up, and I just want to cry! He chose to have a sleepover instead of a huge party, so we had a family dinner and a sleepover.
Gavin's favorite meal is spaghetti, so we had spaghetti, salad, and bread for dinner. The guests were Nana, Ba, Mema, Gram, Aunt Kassy, Uncle Scotty, Jacob, Anna, Uncle Gary, Aunt Sara, Teralee, Aunt Sandy, and Uncle Terry. I made him a wrestling cake with twizzlers for the rope of the ring and little thumb wrestling heads for the fighters. He is really into wrestling right now, so he wore his wrestling shirt and loved the cake! He got a ton of money and bought a wrestling Wii game that he really wanted, plus he bought four books at the book fair at school. He was super excited about Anna and Jacob coming in, so we had them stay the night. It was fun getting to play aunt and uncle for Ray and me too.
Last night Gavin had four friends come home with him from school for his sleepover. We had a silly string war, played basketball, and jumped on the trampoline all before dinner! Then we went to Larry's pizza and ate a ton of pizza, and the kiddos played games for a long time! They cashed in their tickets, and we came home to continue the fun. They played the Wii, DS, and watched movies. We got everyone settled on a couch or on blankets in the floor and popped some popcorn. They watched Mall Cop, ate popcorn, and laughed and laughed! I had to go walk a 5K this morning (and they were up when I started my coffee at 6:30 a.m.), so Ray took over the reins. They went on the four wheeler and played outside some more. Gavin said it was the best, and that is all that matters!
Thanks everyone that made Gavin's birthday special! We love you Gavin and cannot believe that our baby is eight years old. It just seems like a pretty big milestone for him and Ray and I!
