Gavin’s 3rd Birthday

Brad and I got home Sunday about 3 in the afternoon.  Gavin was napping so we had time to put his bike together and get ready for his “Party!” One day he said to me “It’s not fair mommy, I never have a party..hmmm!” We had been talking his Birthday up for the whole month and he is super excited but let’s face it, he is just turning 3.  He thought that he already had his Birthday and he didn’t get a party.  Luckily for him we just said it was a PARTY and he was great! Even a low key park party didn’t seem relevant this year.  Next year we will make it bigger!

We ended up waking him up at 4 o’clock! This kid can nap good and hard.  So, he was a grouch since we woke him up.  We thought the excitement would overtake being woken up but he must have been really tired that day. Opening presents was a little lack luster because of this.

 

I got him a few new outfits thinking he would care so thank goodness I had this gummy crocodile I picked up in Wilmington because it was the best thing ever!

 

Then we surprised him with a bike of his very own! He as been riding one of Bradley’s old tricycles and has been asking for a bike for months now.

Taking off! We are super excited about all our park ventures with the bikes.

I had to show this picture.  Brad is looking to do minor adjustments on the seat and Easton has missed him so much this weekend that he did not leave his side or let go of his finger.  The one sock on, one off is funny too but not having pants on…well, that’s just normal around here!

Daddy’s little mini me.

Gavin (still being in a cranky mood) wanted to sit on my lap and that is the only reason Easton left Brad’s side to sit with me.  These boys are so territorial for our time.  You would have thought it was a month…it was 3 days kids! Only one day where we didn't see you.

Bradley and Easton both wanted turns of course!

Happy Birthday Gavin! Mimi and Nana were so sweet to hang the sign and decorate for me before we got home. Brad’s 30 banner converted very well into a 3!

My silly sweet family!

 

Another funny picture Mimi took.  I was fixing Brad’s hair after he said “you all didn't tell me my hair was messed up” He was really joking and not that vein but I fixed it anyways just in time for us to not take any more pictures! Ha-ha! Anyways, while were doing that Bradley is being goofy and Easton is holding that finger again while Gavin is crawling through Brad’s legs!

With Mom and Nana! I got Nana a thank you gift that was a for looks dish towel that said along the lines of “The south….where chicken is always fried, tea is always sweet…. where everybody’s name is Darlin’ and somebody’s heart is always be blessed!” This is totally Nana! She says “Oh bless your heart Darlin” all the time in her sweet southern voice. She was also caught sweeping my carpets! Only Nana! Mom and I were cracking up one night when we were talking about customer service people on the phone and Nana said “Oh I know what ye mean, I about lost my religion at the Dell guy on the phone!”

We were laughing and these just became goofy because Nana does not know how to take pictures ( Bless her Heart)!

Caught!

Well, if he can do it that I can too since it is my cake (according to Gavin).

On to the singing!

Our little 3 year old with a big heart! We love you Gavin Wavin Chunky Boy!

Rainbow cake inside. It’s so good that you can forego the utensils!

Personal cookie baked by Mimi for the Birthday boy!

   

It was a great PARTY for one super special boy of ours!
