Gavin's Birthday was August 13th, and it always seems that something, some event, falls on the same day as his birthday. This year Britton ended up having a soccer tournament the day of Gavin's birthday with a game at 4:30 pm. and a game at 7:30 pm. Normally the kids get to pick their favorite dinner and have cake and ice cream with cousins and friends but that just didn't work this year. SO...Gavin decided he wanted to celebrate his birthday this year by going out to breakfast. He originally chose IHOP, then changed his mind and wanted to go to McDonalds....THEN, for some reason....(not sure how that happened..HA! HA!) He decided IHOP would be a better choice.
Breakfast was great! It was fun to spend some time with grandma and grandpa and open a few presents at the same time.
Our original plan was to give Gavin a couple presents at breakfast, one around lunch time, and then a couple of presents at dinner. We thought this would give him something to look forward to all day and not fee like we had forgotten him after breakfast...BUT...He couldn't wait. He opened all of them as soon as we got home from IHOP.
We got home so late from Britton's tournament that cake and ice cream had to wait. In fact, Gavin's birthday was Thursday, Jason went camping with the scouts Friday - Saturday, so cake, candles and ice cream all happened Saturday night.
Gavin is a little dare-devil. He LOVES extreme sports and is constantly building bigger, better, higher jumps for his bike and 4-wheeler. I was really excited when I saw a picture of a skateboard cake - it just fit Gavin'g personality perfectly. The only problem was, his cake was not supposed to be a yellow and pink skateboard, it was supposed to be yellow and RED. So much for liquid food coloring...it just kept getting pinker and pinker.
Even with all of the confusion and chaos on Gavin's birthday, we had a great time.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY G.G.
