Gavin's 3rd Bday

Gavin had an awesome weekend. We had a full house, Nikki, Aaron, Coleson, Keaton, Mom/Nana Meyer, Steve/Papa Meyer, Nana Gould and Papa Gould. All cramped up in the house. Nik and Aaron took Gavin's room and we put his two mattresses flat on the floor. Keaton was in the pack and play. Coleson slept on the crib mattress on the floor. We had one set of parents upstairs in the office loft and one set downstairs on the pull out sofa. Every inch of the house had someone in it.

Gavin started the morning with a trip to the beach so I could decorate with Nik and Mom. We got the house all ready, balloons, streamers, M&Ms in bowls and popcorn flowing. Two of Gavin's favorite treats. Then came the bounce house.

He loved it. It was a perfect size. It had the Backyardigans on it. We got to bounce for about an hour before people arrived. Coleson and Gavin got sweaty from bouncing so much. We had Giovanni, Georgia, Mari come over. Ben couldn't make it and not sure what happened to Kalani.. no show. It was ok because with only a few kids inside, we didn't have any accidents. Well, Coleson did fall on the ground when getting out but no one knocked heads inside the bounce house. We had some of the parents jumping and I got in a few bounces as well. Gavin said " I LOVE the BOUNCE HOUSE!".

After everyone left and the bounce house was gone, Gavin looked outside, slumped his shoulders and said " I miss my birthday" and turned around and walked out of the room. Too cute.

He got so many great toys... he loves his playmobile guys, the rocket launcher, the view master, the dinosaurs, puzzles, and the jumpee skip. He calls his new Leapster.. his remote control. We will play with the playdo and the dot markers this week.

We had a great time. So fun to make your kid smile!
