Wow, my little boy is 5 ... where did the time go? I'm so proud of my little man. He is funny, sweet, polite and handsome as can be. Here he is 5 years ago today (he was born at 11:27 PM on the 9th so we took pretty much all of his pictures on the 10th).
And here he is from 2 weeks ago when we shot his 5 year old portraits.
Yesterday was his birthday and we had a nice little family party last night and today we are having his big party with all of his little friends and a Spiderman bounce house! He is going to be so excited when he sees it ... it has a giant Spiderman on the side. The gifts he was the most excited about are a Nintendo DS from Grandma & Pappy and a pair of red cowboy boots from Hilly & Kyle. See, he had a pair of red cowboy boots when he was 3 and he wore them everywhere. When they got too small I put them away for Alison. Well, Gabe found those boots last weekend and had been trying to wear them and was so upset that I wouldn't let him try to wear boots that are about 5 sizes too small because he might get hurt. So, the top item on his birthday list became new cowboy boots. Here is a scrapbook page from October 2005 about Gabe and his cowboy boots ... any my halloween socks ... he's such a goofball!
Happy Birthday Gabe!! I love you little man!
