12 years old...

Gavin has had quite the Birthday Celebration Week!  It all started on Friday the 19th, with a trip to the Movie Theater, to see Harry Potter with his buddies.

  After the movie, we headed over to "Little Cakes" for some yummy Harry Potter Cupcakes!  Aren't they cute?

Gavin got lots of Game Stop Gift Cards and some money, so we headed over to Game Stop and got some games and a new controller.  Then we ended the night w/ a trip to Sonic for some dinner.  Max got to come over and spend the night and Gavin was so happy with his party!  When I asked him if it was the best ever, he said "No.  It was better than that!"

On Monday, Gav took his leftover birthday money and his Toys R Us Bday gift card to Toys R Us to pick something out.  He was a smart shopper and got himself a voice activated Harry Potter Wand and a spy gear watch.  Once again, he was stoked!

Tuesday was a big day.  He had his Priesthood Interview w/ the Bishop and passed!  He also got his Scout Tenderfoot Award at his Court of Honor.

Wednesday night, Gammy and Papa came over for dinner.  They brought their gifts for him.  Here he is w/ his new lightsaber and the Clone Wars Season 2 on DVD.  Happy Kid! 

 Gavin's actual birthday landed on the 25th - Thanksgiving Day!  We started the day w/ a special meal-

 Then he got his gifts from his family!

 Cali got him this cool Tron Light Cycle!  It drives on the walls and ceiling!  Cool!

 At Thanksgiving at Auntie Shawna and Uncle Gavin's he got to have his birthday dessert= Pumpkin Pie!

 And a cool "Kung Zhu" Pet!

 On Friday-Gavin wanted to have his annual birthday surf!  This year, he got to go with Daddy, Papa & Carter!

 And to finish off this wonderful week, Gavin got ordained a Deacon.  All of these wonderful people came to show their support!

I can't believe he's 12!  But I'm so excited for him and am so grateful for all this Bug has taught me!  I love being his mom.  I will be forever grateful to my Father in Heaven for sending Gavin to me!

Happy Birthday!
