It was an eventful weekend at our house. We celebrated Gabe's 7th Birthday by having a "kid" party. They were allowed to bring their parents and were required to eat pizza and ice cream cake. The slip&slide was a nice treat since it was about 90 degrees outside. Thank you to our friends and family for all of the wonderful gifts. Gabe screamed everytime he opened a gift (even if he didn't know what it was...) It has kept him quite busy this past week. He even got to use the gift card to Barnes & Noble (as seen above) to buy some new books. Thank you also to our family and friends who called Gabe on his birthday and those who sent gifts after the party.

On Tuesday, we headed up to Gabe's choice, Red Robin for his birthday dinner. The wait staff was made known (by Gabe of course) that it was his birthday. They came out with a giant sundae and sang a special happy birthday song. He loved every second of it and thanked them many times.

It is hard to believe that it has been seven years since he came into our lives. It is even harder to imagine life before we were blessed with him.
