After cupcakes, custard, and singing "happy birthday," everyone moved to the living room where Gavin opened his gifts (with a little help).

Hurry up, Daddy. The anticipation is killing me!

I don't know, Grandpa. Horizontal stripes are just all wrong on you. Other than that, though...

A little preventative maintenance before putting Wheely Bug through his first road test.

Fly, Wheely Bug! Fly! Buzzzz buzzzzzzz!

Lovin' the Wheely Bug!

I'm all growed up now. *I* can ride my all by myself!

Gavin thought the self-propelled tractor he received from the GG's needed a little more power.

A posed family portrait ... how did we manage this?!

Gavin shows us the proper way to complete his new transportation puzzle.

Mommy and Daddy knew this latch puzzle would keep Gavin's fingers busy for, well, a few minutes at a time, at least.

Tired of all his new toys, Gavin returned to his old standby: playing underneath the dining room table.

Hey, Gmummy! Let's play!

Now, stuck your bum in the air and look at your feet, like this. C'mon, Gmummy! You can do it!

This simple portrait was probably the hardest shot to take all day!

I also wanted to get a "birthday suit" shot, but including the dreaded birthday hat was asking too much, I suppose. Surely this thing isn't made from naturally-occurring substances.
