Happy Birthday Gavin!

Gavin is 7!!
The day started with Rainforest Monkey Cupcakes.
Gavin is studying the rainforest in school so we made these cupcakes.
Inside each one is a little rainforest fact on a rolled up piece of paper.
Here, Linnea is helping put on the chocolate monkeys.

That night we went out to dinner with Great Grampa
and Tera and Jared and their family.
Lala Grill was Gavin's choice restaurant.
Here, Gavin and Maila are reading the card sent by Grama and Grampa Sirman.

Gavin ready to blow out his candles of his Oreo cake. Seriously, Layers in Monterey make the best cake. I ate more then I should have and subsequently went on a 6 mile run to try to repair the damage. But it was worth it.

The next day Gavin had another party with a few friends from church and school.
One of the boys' Mom made and brought this awesome lightsaber cake!

Micah was a little too interested in the cake...

"Look Mom!"

The boys played musical present while listening to Star Wars music.
I'll never forget Gavin being just two years old and every Sunday he'd sing the Darth Vader theme song during church, and most noticeably during the sacrament. He has liked Star Wars for a while!

My sweet boy on his 7th birthday!
I am so grateful to have Gavin in our family. He's a joy to be around. He's full of energy and joy!

Gavin and Jacen playing around. Scary of Jacen, huh?!
