Birthday Fun

We had such a great week celebrating Gavin's birthday! On Thursday, Gavin's actual birthday, Gavin and I went and picked up Daddy from work and went to cheesecake factory for lunch. We had a great lunch, and got a piece of cheesecake with a candle for Gav! 

That evening, we gave Gavin his birthday present, which was a wagon! He was so in love with it, we couldn't keep him out of the wagon for the rest of the night! Nana and Papa came over and we had dinner and a cookie cake! Im sure you're thinking that this is a lot of cake and sweets for Gavin, but actually he wasn't much into either type of cake. He took a few bites of each, but that was about it. So Mommy had to step in and pick up the slack. I, on the other hand, had a stomach ache after all the sweets I ate for the day! 

Saturday afternoon we had Gavin's birthday party at our house. The theme was sports, and I worked really hard to make it special and unique! 

Gavin wasn't feeling his best on Saturday, because on Friday we went to the dr, and Gavin got his first ever flu shot. He ended up with all of the bad side effects; chills, fever, and very irritable and sore. He didn't sleep well Friday night, and was so cranky for most of Saturday. I think the crowd of friends and family distracted him for a bit, be he wasn't much up for opening presents or playing.

Next we tried his cake...what an epic fail! He had absolutely no interest in touching or eating the cake! Poor little guy barely tasted the icing before he decided that he didn't want anything to do with it! 

Overall the party was so great! Gavin had a good time, and so many of our friends and family were able to be there. We missed those that couldn't be there, especially Ray and Jess, but the house was packed and crazy! Gavin got so many toys and presents, that I don't know how he will ever play with them! But he's pretty happy about it! Thanks to everyone who helped make this day special. :)
