Gabe's 2nd Birthday

March 28th we celebrated Gabe's 2nd Birthday!

It was a wonderful day and we had such a fun time. Our families and some friends came over and we cooked out, told hilarious stories, and watched Gabe and his buddies enjoy the festivities. It was so much fun!

Oh, and I did a "Go, Diego, Go" theme, since Gabe seems to be rather obsessed with that show. I made the cake and had a blast doing it. Here is a random smattering of pics from the afternoon...



Here is Gabe with Pastor Tom, or as Gabe says, "Patah TOM!!!"




We all cracked up when we looked over at Grammy
and realized she was using TWO recording devices
to capture the moment. Classic.




Our friends, the Allerkamps




Poppa (pronounced "paw-paw) and Gramps, guarding the grill.




Jeff and Gabe next to the new train table. Definitely the hit of the day!




Gabe getting ready to blow out the candle.
He was so excited that everyone was FINALLY singing
the "Cake Song"
(although, you may know it as the "Happy Birthday" Song)




Lastly, my Diego cake. (Also referred to as the "Diego on Crack" cake...
his eyes were a bit bulgy and scary, ha ha!)

What a fun party! And, I'm with everyone else in being completely impressed with your cake decorating skills even if I am totally out of the loop having never seen or heard of Diego.

Yeah, I agree about the Diego cake... he looks like he's about ready to go on a homicidal spree of some kind.
