Happy Birthday, Gabe

I can't believe our baby boy is 3! He's not even a toddler anymore - he's a little boy. He keeps us laughing every day with his imagination. He is such a joy in our family. We love you, Gabe!

Erik had to travel to Boston this week, so we had Gabe's party last night (his real birthday is today, but he doesn't know that...). He requested a race car birthday cake and a race car candle (where would he get that idea?). Thanks to all the other people who posted their ideas on the internet so I could copy them!
The fam.
We were so glad the Mendenhalls came over to help celebrate. What would we do without them?! It was a fun party with pizza, cake and presents. What more could a 3 year old want?






Saying goodbye to daddy, Star Wars style. Thanks to Porter and Boston for the awesome costume! It makes Gabe's finger gun much more effective when he shoots it at daddy.
