gavin is three years old today. that just doesn't even seem possible. but all it takes is one look at him, and i see it. he is three. gavin is growing and maturing every day, and his vivacious spirit is as present as ever. my heart bursts with love for my boy, and i feel so blessed that i get to spend all my days with him. on this day, we celebrated gavin from morning 'til night. i blew up balloons and left them in his room so he would see them when he awakened. just a little something special to start his day. for breakfast brooke and i sang "happy birthday" to gavin over powdered donut holes :) pretty yummy. soon after, kevin arrived on the red-eye from LA, and we got ready for our day. gavin (with brooke's help) chose to spend his birthday at chuck-e-cheese. it was our first trip, and the kids were excited. they've seen enough commercials to know it was going to be fun :) and it was a lot of fun. the pizza was good, the games were plentiful, and we had the whole place to ourselves. chuck-e even came out to see us, and gavin was thrilled. so cute! we had lots of tokens and managed to win a fair amount of tickets, and gavin and brooke had lots of fun cashing them in for prizes. after gavin's (and kevin's :) nap, gavin opened his birthday presents from us (golf clubs, a robot, a baseball glove/ball and a new batman figure). brooke was super sad that everyone had golf clubs but her, so kevin and gavin went downstairs and returned with a surprise for brooke, too - her very own golf clubs! a big smile spread across her face, and i reassured brooke that we would never leave her out. so then we all went "golfing" out in the backyard. the kids loved putting their golf bags on their backs like "real" golfers :) brooke got frustrated very quickly and started yelling at all of us to be quiet!!! so she could hit the ball. too funny that girl of mine. gavin tried out all of his new sports gear, and then we settled down for dinner. it was a happy birthday for gavin. yet, he keeps reminding me that his carnival party has not come up yet :) 2 more days!
