The Ongoing Birthday!

Last week was his party, Friday were cupcakes with his classmates and today was with family on his real birthday! Cailean and I met in Gavin's classroom yesterday and we shared green cupcakes with sprinkles with his classmates. In the last year Gavin has become extremely shy and although he acts like a ham around us...he is very quiet and doesn't like to be the center of attention. I guess he has some stage freight or something, but we just keep plugging away with it!

This morning we were at Ian's basketball game and then while Ian and Cailean were at a Y-Guides event in downtown Raleigh, Gavin and I cheered on the Wolfpack at the swim meet. It was our first one of the year and it was definitely very close. Gavin definitely enjoyed watching the races against Clemson.

We went down to my mom's shortly after that and had an early dinner followed by an unusual birthday dessert request. He opened up a few more gifts and he LOVED the NFL gift bag that had the "G" team (Green Bay), the Jets and the Patriots! My grandparents gave him this Alvin and the Chipmunks musical card and he was playing it by opening and closing it. LOL

His Grammie made him a new bathrobe and it matches the theme of his birthday party...bowling! He is showing everyone that he is FOUR years old now.

He wanted vanilla ice cream with sprinkles, twizzlers and skittles for his birthday dessert. So, that's what he got! He fell asleep on the way home and went right to bed while Ian stayed up to watch the rest of the NCSU basketball game.
