More celebrating

After the trip, we had a party with the Mendenhalls. Lest you think Gabe turned 100, let me explain. When I asked him what kind of birthday cake he wanted, Gabe requested a 100 cake. Why? Because that's his favorite number, of course.



Everyone gets a turn blowing out the candles.



And, finally, the morning of his actual birthday. He (and the rest of us!) was about partied out by then, but that didn't take away from the excitement of being able to say he is finally 5!
