Gabe's 1st Birthday


Saturday was Gabriel's 1st birthday. We didn't do anything big. Just a fun family day together. This is the first birthday that Hans has been able to be here for for either of the kids. It was nice to have him home for this. Gabe had a pretty good day even though he's teething like crazy.




I know the cake is really pathetic, but we don't have many dishes left in our house because our household goods were shipped already. So, I didn't have the right kind of stuff to make a cool cake. However, even if I did have all my stuff, it probably wouldn't have looked much better to tell the truth.


Eva had fun licking the spatula before the cake. She's also trying to blow out Gabe's candle for him. Isn't she such a big helper? (my eyes are now rolling)



After the yummy cake.

finally a post I can understand! (sorry Hans, I'm a stay at home idahoan mother, my comprehension is limited:) I think Gabe's cake is great! It was just a year ago that I started blogging, right before your little guy was born. Time has just flown by!

Love the (my eyes are rolling) bit. Ah, that chocolate cake sure looked good to us! Looked like Gabe and Eva thought it was too!

Does Gabe smile all the time? It seems like he must. I was very sorry that he was asleep when we called to sing to him.
I hope this year will find him a little healthier. He's a cute little guy.
