Gavin is FOUR!!!

This morning when I went in to wake Blake up for school, Gavin instantly sat straight up in bed and asked, "Is it my birthday?!!!" Then he announced that he was bigger now that he was four. Blake called him over to measure up to him and confirmed that Gav is indeed taller! ;) Love those boys!

I whipped up some pancakes for breakfast, at Gavin's request. I stuck a {pink} candle in his short stack and we sung our birthday wishes to start the day off. He was all about that!!

Originally, I had planned to take Gavin to the zoo, but when I asked him, he said he didn't want to go. So we ended up at the neighborhood park with other mommies & playmates from the ward. :) Gav picked McDs for a gourmet lunch of chicken nuggets, french fries, apple dippers & chocolate milk! All he cared about was that he got a "short, fat one" (aka Theodore) as the toy. :)

Before we left for the park, Gavin opened a bday card from his great-grandma Hamilton and received a $10 bill. I decided we'd stop by Target after lunch and let him pick out something to buy with his monies. He picked out Bakugan (surprise!) and handed over his money to the cashier. When we got into the car, he FREAKED out that he didn't get his dollar back!! Mommy had to give him a little lesson on the spot about exchanging our money for things. Easy come, easy go, right?! ;)Time to open presents!!!

Gifts - Star Wars dudes, Leapster game, Lego car, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs DVD, Little Einsteins matchbox cars, Tinkertoys and the BIG surprise, a Toy Story foldout couch!!

Guess who thinks he owns the couch? ;)Makin' his wish..... for a BIG WHALE!!!! That's what he said, LOL!! But of course!I love his smile here! And those ears..... oh boy.

This past Sunday, Gavin went to SUNBEAMS for the very first time!!! He was more than ready since he was practically four already! He's the oldest in his class. What a handsome dude!

Gavin is a very sweet, lovey boy. He's a good boy, too. He loves his big brother and wants to do what Blake does and have everything Blake has. Gav also likes his space and enjoys being at home with me during the day. He's definitely a homebody!! He has a small obsession with Legos & Bakugans. The kid detests shoes and socks and hardly wears clothes at home. I love his freckles and his Superman swirl in the front of his hair. I'm so glad we have Gavin as a part of our family!!!
