Happy Birthday to Gavin!!

So Saturday was a very busy day.  After the cousin pics, everybody met at Matt and Lindsay's house at 6 pm for Gavin's birthday party.  He will be gone to Boys' Camp on his 11th birthday, so we are celebrating a bit early.

Lindsay fixed a yummy taco bar and Gavin's cake had a paintball gun in frosting on the top.

Gifts were mostly cards with money or gift cards.....woo hoo!!

Matt set up a slip 'n slide in the front yard and the kids had so much fun slippin 'n a slidin'....  Here they are waiting their turn to slide...

Happy Birthday, Gavin!!!  I have enjoyed every one of your eleven years on this earth.  I especially enjoyed our time together this year in St. Louis.  I pray that you will continue to look forward to the time you are not just a spectator on this mission trip but a participant and that you will remember that you are always on the mission field, including at your school.  You are such a deep thinker and enjoy being around and talking to people.  I'll be excited to see how God uses these traits in your life.  Hope this week at camp was a great time for you!

I love you,

Mema
