Gage's Birthday Party


Gage turns seven years old!  I am sure we say this every year, but it is so crazy to think how big our boys are getting.  We are so thankful for each year we have been able to spend with Gage and watch him grow and turn into the boy he is.  His birthday party was held at the Paul Derda
Recreation Center next to our house.  We got to spend an hour in the gymnastics area then had cake and activities in a party room.  Here are some of his friends (Lola, Jackson, and Maggie) enjoying the fun.


It's a bit hard to tell from the picture, but this is Gavin getting launched upside down off of this ramp from inside this doughnut roll thing.  We took many turns trying this, but I don't think he ever made it off of the ramp to the ground without falling out.


This is the whole crew lined up in front of one of the jumpy castles in the gymnastics area.  We had another picture that had everyone "dabbing," but we lost so many of the faces, we decided to go with this far more tame picture.


Happy 7th Birthday, Gage!


One of Tara's great activities that we had everyone do was to write something that "Gage is..." on a sticky note and we put them all up on the outside door of the room.  We saw many very nice nice things like generous, shares, etc.  Gage has so much he can teach all of us about sharing and caring about and for others.
