Celebrating Gage

Saturday was my son Gage's birthday, so we spent the day celebrating him. We woke up that morning and Joi made cinnamon rolls upon Gage's request. We let him open a present from Grandma Jan. Then we got ready and went to Gavin's first football game (he had a 15 yard run as a running back...not too bad for his first game). We went home after the game and Gage opened the rest of his gifts from us, Papa and Granny, and Tia. Then, we went to Armadillo Restaurant for yummy Mexican Food, again at Gage's request. After our tummy's were full, we were off to the Denver Zoo for an afternoon of animal watching. What a great place for an animal lover like Gage! The bears were very active that day, which was nice. Quite a few other animals seemed to be sleeping or not visible at all. But, Gage didn't seem to notice and had a wonderful time. Afterward, it was off to home for Gage's favorite meal, Meat, Rice, and Gravy. Uncle Dale joined us. Then we sang to him and presented him with his birthday cake. While eating cake and ice cream, we watched Soul Surfer. It was a good day and I enjoyed celebrating Gage. He is such a wonderful boy. He's very kind, loving, compassionate, and forgiving. He's easy going and loves people. He loves music and stuffed animals. In fact, most of his gifts were stuffed animals to add to his collection. I love that boy of mine and I am blessed to be his father. Love you, Gagers!
