#6

I completely forgot to do a blog about Gaber when he turned 6. I was looking at my blog the other day, after I had blogged about Tara turning 2. I went back to November and noticed I didn't do one for Gaber. I feel so bad for forgetting to do that. So here it goes...
Gaber turned 6 in November. For his birthday he really really wanted to go to Chuckie Cheese so that is where we went for his birthday lunch. I really wasn't too excited about going, but in our house you get to pick where to eat on your birthday, so Chuckie Cheese it was. (Chuck E. Cheeze? Not sure how they spell it out.) So we had a fun lunch there with his cousins and grandparents and it was on a school day so it was practically empty...one of the many benefits to homeschooling! :) That night we had all the family over for deli sandwiches, chips, veggies, cake and icecream. This year Gaber had a scooby doo cake, which he LOVED. The other thing he loved was all his new bakugan toys he received...and that is all he got was bakugan. Yep, every last present was bakugan. He was thrilled! So it was a great day, we had a lot of fun and my little man is not so little now. *sigh*
Gaber's fav foods:
-chicken nuggets
-soup
-pizza
-burgers
-bacon
-ham
-ketchup :)
-apples w/ pb
-strawberries
-yogurt
Gaber hates green stuff (lettuce :). He has recently decided he doesn't like grapes and mac 'n cheese.
Gabe's fav activities:
-playing outside with friends
-playing with Tara
-running
-brushing mommy's hair (which I love)
-reading
-playing with Bakugan
Gaber is a great kid. He is very sociable, he loves being around people and doing whatever they are doing. He really doesn't know what to do with himself when he's alone, unlike Josiah who would rather play by himself at times...most times. :)

We had a good weekend, on Saturday we had a Christmas banquet at the church. During the dirty santa game (not sure they call it that, but that's the only name i know of for that game), I so happened to pick the one present, the one out of at least 30 presents, that was an angel with a poem on it about war and comforting you while your loved one is gone. Seriously...how did I pick that one? And of course I teared up. *sigh* I.Hate.Crying. AND, I HATE crying in front of people, and there I was all weepy. I've been handling this deployment well, not too many tears shed, but there in front of all those ladies, I pick the present with that gift in it that caught me off guard. I mean, who would think I would pick THAT one. Weird huh? I was thankful for it and I will probably hang that angel in Tara's room when we get back. :)
