Gabriel's 7th Birthday

February 23rd was Gabriel's 7th birthday.   He wanted to celebrate this year with a video game party with his friends.

Mommy and Daddy had a special birthday gift planned for him before his party started.  He opened the basketball first, and then read a message in the card to go outside.

He was so thrilled to see a basketball goal sitting next to the driveway.

He made his first three shots!  Daddy had to raise the goal a little higher for him already.

After playing some video games, the kids decided to go outside to shoot some hoops.

They had their own version of HORSE going.  I just wasn't able to figure out exactly how it worked.

We were very lucky to have beautiful weather so the boys could enjoy the basketball goal.

Hopefully the kids will spend a lot more time enjoying the basketball goal this Spring and Summer.

After some basketball, the kids came inside for cake.

Make a wish, Gabe!

And for the finale . . . Presents!

Gabriel had plenty of helpers as he opened his gifts.

I love this picture because it looks like Jackson is sucking on the Wii controller.  It's actually a candy dispenser that looks like a Wii controller.

Legos were "the thing" this year.

After the party, Miss Evie was changed in to her pj's for the ride home.  Grace wanted to put on pj's too.

Gabriel couldn't wait to get out his new Lego sets and begin building.
