Happy 8th Birthday, Gabe!!

It is hard to believe that it has been 8 years since our Gabe first made his debut into our lives! Wow, how he has changed----and so have we! He is such a great son, he is an awesome big brother, a wonderful student, and an eager helper---he always gives 100% in all that he decides to do...God has truly blessed us! Gabe decided to start his birthday celebrating with some chocolate chip pancakes and bacon for breakfast and then on to some game time at Chuck E. Cheese...of course that was a hit with little brother as well!! The boys played until their hearts content and then off to swimming lessons....nope, he didn't get to take his birthday off!! After swimming lessons Gabe wanted Pizza Hut for dinner....kids are so funny...I always give them a choice of whatever they want...it's always kind of fun to see what they pick! So after some yummy pizza, pasta and breadsticks we headed home for presents and cake! Again, Gabe never ceases to amaze me....he chose a variety of cheesecakes for his birthday cake!! What an adult palate he has! His favorite was the caramel apple cheesecake....I think I have to agree with him!
Thank you for all of the wonderful gifts and cards---Gabe enjoyed each one of them! He received baseball and football cards, Wii games, skateboard pads, a Royals shirt, a Seahawks jersey, a reading lamp, tons of great non-fiction books, his very first big boy Bible, gift cards, money.....and probably other stuff that I have forgotten!! He had a wonderful birthday....Watch out year 9 here he comes!!!
