He asked for chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast so that's what he got! We went to church in the afternoon and he got a treat bag from Primary and another treat from his teacher. We headed over to my parents' house to celebrate both Gavin and Heston's birthdays. We gave Gavin Pokemon Black 2 for his DS, Pokemon card, Skylanders Giants for the Wii and a Lego Chima set.
I brought lunch to school for him on Monday, since his birthday fell on a weekend. Gavin chose a Happy Meal from McDonalds, of course!
The following Saturday was Gavin's birthday party! He wanted an Angry Birds themed party so I went with it! Nearly every day, I'm thankful for the internet and the wealth of info shared there! It wasn't hard to find ideas since Angry Birds is so popular these days!

He had five of his little friends from Primary come to his party. We started off by coloring and making our own party hats.
Joshua Thornes, Carson Carrasco, Gavin, Spencer Palmer, Treyson McLeod, Alec Painter
When everyone was finished, we played pin the tail feathers on the Red Bird. Brooklyn led this one.
Then, for the MAIN event, we headed outside to play a LIFE SIZE GAME of Angry Birds!!!! Thankfully this was soon after Christmas and since I ordered a ton of things online, I had a gazillion boxes that worked out perfectly for this! I found some Pig plushes that we set in the little fortresses and the boys went to town, trying to knock down the boxes with a big red ball. Once it was completely demolished, they built it up again and again and again!
(pay no attention to the boy in the background picking his nose....)
Next, it was time for the piñata! We let everyone get a few whacks at it while blindfolded, then Gavin got to beat it open.
Finally, we did cupcakes with ice cream and then Gavin got to open gifts from his friends. The cupcakes were a lot of work but I was SO happy with the way they turned out!! And poor Gav, I forgot he doesn't like frosting on his cupcakes and neglected to leave him one unfrosted so he didn't even EAT one!
Everyone got a little treat bag to take home with an Angry Bird plush, some Angry Birds graham crackers and red & yellow gumballs~
Once everyone had gone home, I got a sweet hug from Gavin and a, "You're the best mom!" Makes all the stress of party planning worth it!
