Gabe's Birthday!

Blue berry muffins for Gabe's birthday Breakfast!

Good buds!

Wow, it's been a loooooong time! A combination of keeping busy with some spontaneous summer mini trips and not having a computer has kept me from blogging for a long time!

On Gabe's real birthday, we celebrated with a tradition we started last year. Gabe was born on my late great grandmas birhtday. She was very special, and we had decided last year that we (my family and extended family) would all have an ice cream bar, her most favorite of treats, in honor of her. Well, on June 30th of last year I called my grandparents and told them I had a better way to celebrate her birthday! By 11:39 that night we had Gabey!!! (AND I DID have my ice cream bar that morning on the way to the hospital!:) SO- long story short, on his real birthday Gabe had his first ice cream bar!

Well Gabe's birthday party was great. Unfourtunately he woke up in the middle of the night before his party with a fever and croup! I prayed all morning that he would miraculously get better, but he didn't . After warning all our guests with kiddos we decided to go on with his party. He wasn't

%100 himself, but he was able to have a little bit of fun.

He loved his cake, once he realized it was food :) loved playing with all his friends and family, and LOOOOVED all the fun trucks and blocks and clothes he opened as presents! Thanks friends and family for making his first birthday soooo special!
