Gavin's 5th

Gavin turned 5 on Monday. We celebrated with the Tew's while we were still in Blackfoot. He got a green remote control car and an outfit from Granny & Grandpa and a Playdough set from Aunt No'el and Uncle Ryan.






Aunt Callie, Aunt Emily & Uncle Jeff gave him a Leapster. That thing is the BEST gift ever. He's played it almost nonstop. He loves it.

Uncle Tom gave him a Pirate Book & some fun Pirate toys and a Frog that grew when placed in water. Here is the progress of the frog over a 7-day period:



We gave him a game for the Leapster and we went to dinner with Grandma & Grandpa Styer. G & G Styer gave him some puzzles, a Dr. Seuss game, and War (the card game.)

Gavin went to the doctor for his well-child check up today. He is 44 inches tall and weighs 44 pounds. He is such a smarty. He's learning sign language at preschool and is going to start a reading program in January. He is so musically talented. He is a good little singer in Primary and Preschool. We sure love him and we're glad he is part of our family.

Happy 5th Birthday to your little boy! We are doing a 5th birthday ourselves on Monday. Crazy! But I am so glad to read that you guys are loving the Leapster because that is exactly what our 5 year old will be getting for his birthday! Sweet! Crazy how fast 5 years flies by, huh?! I always get in such a reflective mood when Tyler's birthday rolls around.

I'm sure glad we could celebrate Gavin's birthday while you were here for Thanksgiving. He is such a cute boy who always makes his presence know, mostly by jumping up and down constantly. He is so excited about everything, it's contagious! We love him.
