The Burfday Boy
The very poorly constructed cake that fell apart after I started cutting it. And Woody kept falling off.
Swingset fun. Gabriel was so happy his best buddy Lenah came to the party.
My Dad and Joel, who tolerated all the excitement really well. Joel did pretty well too! (Hah)
Gabriel and Luke (a.k.a. Lukey-Luke), his best friend from preschool. He had stitches in his chin that popped open during the party when he landed really hard after sliding down our slide. He had to leave and go to the emergency room to get stitched back up, which we felt horrible about. I gave him a big piece of cake to try to ease his pain!
Mom and Joel. who looks disgusted with the lack of attention he was getting.
I tried something new this year. I made Gabriel pose for a picture with every group as they left the party. I'm not sure if I'll do that again because it was kind of a bummer for him to have to stop having fun. Aunt April, Uncle Philip, Cade and Macy.
Just after he blew out the candles, he looked around the entire room full of people and had the most joyful smile on his face. That moment right there was worth all of the work and then some.
Mamaw and Poppy and Uncle Dave.
Tia Sandie and boyfriend Michael with daughter Lizzie. His older daughter Grace couldn't come.
Andrew with Molly. He's so sweet with animals.
Godparents Aunt Christine and Uncle Keith, with kids Andrew, Allison and Matthew.
I just love, love, love this picture.
And to prove that we made it through another party. Joel is either giving his brother a love pat or smacking him in the back of the head. We have no way of knowing which!
