Birthday Party: Swim Team Style

Gavin has the most wonderful babysitter, Suzanne. She is a swim team mom who watches him for me every single day while I coach. She is so great with him and he loves her! She asked me if she could throw a little birthday party for Gavin and I said YES!! There is a group of moms that sit up on the hill overlooking the pool and they all love Gavin and help watch him sometimes so they all got in on the action and had a little party.

He wasn't quite sure about the hat that I put on him to wear to his party. (But he kept it on the entire time!!)
Suzanne brought him some bright orange cupcakes. This was his first taste of cupcake goodness.

He wasn't quite sure what to do with it.
But he finally figured it out.

And he loved it!
Other parents were so sweet and also brought him presents to open.

He got this fun book along with a few other books that I don't have pictures of.
He got these stacking cups that he absolutely loves!
He got the jacket that he is wearing and also this fun fish puzzle. It has little magnets on the pieces and came with a fishing pole to pick the pieces up.
He also got this fun ball game. He loves, loves, loves this thing! He is really good at it and pushes the balls down himself.
All the kids wanted to play with Gavin's new toys.
Gavin is such a lucky boy to have so many people that love him. It was so great of these parents to have a little party for him. It really means a lot to me to know that he is so well taken of while I am working.

What a happy birthday boy!
