Gavin turned 2 today so we got to have his party on his actual birthday! It couldn't have been a more beautiful day. Beautiful outside, but even more so, a day filled with joy and laughter... one I will always remember with a heartfelt smile.
It was a close toss-up between Diego and Elmo for the theme of his party, but we decided to go with Elmo. Gavin kept saying, "La, la, la... la, la, la... Elmo earld." He also LOVES balloons, so we had to start it out with a huge bunch for his special day.
A few days ago, the weather forecast said that it was going to rain. I was so glad to see that it was a nice day from the moment I got up this morning. Actually fairly warm too, so we spent most of our time in the backyard. There's just something about the happy spirit of little kids playing outside. Especially because it's been about six months since they've gotten to play in the backyard. ;)
They were having such a good time, so we brought the cake outside to them and had a little picnic on a blanket.
Next, we came inside and opened presents while Daddy and his friends hid Easter eggs outside. (I thought it would be fun to have an early Easter egg hunt, since Gavin's birthday is so close to Easter this year) Then the kids got to take home their Easter basket as a treat bag.
All in all, I was so glad to share this special day with close friends and family. It truly meant the world to me to watch Gavin light up in excitement that it was his very own birthday.
