Gavin’s 4th Birthday!

October 21st, Monday, Gavin turned 4.  We love this bright red headed boy of ours and are amazed at his personality daily. I can not believe he was our chunky boy second baby once upon a time…

From the looks of this picture you have gone from sweet to silly like most boys do! You are kind of crazy too but you still have all that sweetness in you and it has grown and made you into the boy you are today.  Here is a little bit of that boy you are today.

The weekend before your Birthday, Grammy came to visit for the night.  She played games with you and went to church with you and brought you your birthday present. You even got her to lay down with you and talk for hours when you were supposed to be sleeping.  This usually happens and both of you get in trouble by mommy! Notice the “night owl” I wrote, you could stay up and talk, tell stories, color and play forever.

On Monday morning you woke up to see your decorations. Mommy made you a special breakfast before school and you were so excited about your big day turning four years old!
    

I just love this picture of you looking at all your stuff and happy while Mommy makes you breakfast. This smile is such a blessing to see, everyday we are grateful for your smile!

Next we got ready for school.  We took some pictures while you were all handsome and in your birthday shirt.
 

Next we got the cake POPS and off we went.

After school, you, Easton and Mommy went to Dairy Queen for lunch and got ice cream after our hot dogs.
We also picked up a surprise that Mimi & Dunka sent you.  Some Birthday balloons and an edible arrangement.  You loved all the chocolate it was covered in!

We still did have you take a nap in the afternoon and we were going to have a special dinner of Pizza but when I asked you, you requested soy chicken and rice I think.  This is why mommy should blog right after it happens because I forget some details.  Anyways, I think that was it.  You like rice because you say it makes you stronger so you can beat up the bad guys.

Then, finally, the best part.  The candles and singing.  Happy Birthday to YOU! Cha, Cha, Cha!




Then you got to open presents from Mommy & Daddy and your brothers.  You got a new remote control car, nerf gun and race car track for the bath tub. 


You had a really great day! We don’t think we could love you anymore than we already do but I am sure you will prove us wrong.  You are so unique and just an amazing gift from God so we know more ways to love will happen.  Gavin Thomas Woodward, have a great year being 4.  Mommy and Daddy love you with all our hearts and your brothers think you are kind of cool too ;)
