Gavin and Jasper

Gavin and Jasper were born to two geeks who apparently spend all their time writing about, taking photos of, and videotaping their kids. This is their photo album, video library, development journal, and daily activity blog.

It's your party and I'll cry if I want to

posted by Traci at 9:04 PM

Yesterday was Mommy's birthday, officially ending the string of winter family birthdays. Mommy and Daddy had the day off and took Gavin to Tiny Tumblers in the morning. We spent the afternoon at Gmummy and Grandpa's place where we played Settlers of Catan (the birthday girl won!) and Rummikub (Daddy won) while Gavin napped and then played with Grandpa.

When Aunt Kristen's work day was over, we all headed to her house for dinner, presents, and cake. Kristen and Gmummy whipped up a delicious taco dinner...

Gavin wasn't interested in tacos so he sat on the couch and watched the iPod...

It's Handy Manny!

Mommy's boys. :)

Gavin helped unwrap gifts. We wondered if he'd assume any present would be for him with Christmas and his birthday fresh in his memory, but that wasn't the case!

2010 February 09 birthday 05

 

He probably didn't care about gifts because he heard about the cake...

2010 February 09 birthday 06

 

As expected, he didn't enjoy the singing. Last month, Gavin protested when we sang to him on his birthday and when we sang to Daddy. Chin up, Gavin. You have a three-month break now until the next family birthday.

Mommy made a yummy 14-layer cake...

2010 February 09 birthday 08

 

Yum...

2010 February 09 birthday 09

 

Oh, yummy...

2010 February 09 birthday 10

 

I don't think these guys could look more bored if they tried. They really did enjoy the cake ... especially Gavin!

Cin said... That cake looks amazing! Wish we could be there to celebrate with you, we miss you!

Cin said... whose birthday are you referring to in 3 months? Mine or someone else's in NC?

granmama said... When Kristen's birthday comes in May, there maybe a sibling to accompany Gavin's crying. But perhaps version 2.0 will like the birthday song.
