Tyler and Emily decided to surprise Gavin by decorating his bedroom. They woke up early and made him a sign, and decorated with crepe paper and balloons. What a good brother and sister!
The kids love to earn their own money in order to buy a gift for the birthday child. I still love taking them to the store to see the perfect gift they pick out.
Emily picked a big ball in Gavin's favorite color.
Tyler picked some Ben 10 guys for his Alien Creation Maker.
Travis got him a baseball bat, glove and ball.
I think he likes it.
Every cowboy needs a pair of boots.
After the kids headed to school, we headed to Toad's. It was so much fun just enjoying him and watching what he chose to spend his tokens on.
He loved the batting cages. I was amazed how well he hit, even with a bat that was too big and a helmet that could have fit me. What a slugger!
Here he is with all his loot!
Gavin LOVES Chinese food. He feasted on Hot and Sour soup, Schewan Chicken, Ham Fried Rice, and House Special Lo-Mein at Maple Garden's.
This friendly little guy made sure that everyone knew that it was his birthday. The waitress really took care of him and made sure he got a birthday treat.
Yep, I wore him out!
But, we STILL had more celebrating to do....
He started soccer this year and was really excited to have practice on his birthday. After soccer, we celebrated with family. What a special, lucky little man!
