Pool Party!

Gavin was invited to his very first birthday party and it was a pool party! We were excited when the invitation came in the mail for lots of reasons, there would be a pool, good friends, yummy food and cute kids for Gavin to play with (well, watch them play). These all are sure to add up to a good time!

The week before the party, Gavin and I set out to pick out a present for the birthday girl. We stopped at Toys R Us to browse and see if we could find something that would be fun and hopefully exciting. We picked up a couple of Mini Lalaloopsy doll sets, one with a bus and doll and another one that was a painter doll. They were really cute and reminded me of something I had as a little girl that I loved. We brought them home and that night I got it all "wrapped" up in the gift bag we picked out and ready to go to the party.

The morning of the party we packed up all Gavin's swimming stuff, diapers, toys for the ride, snacks, sippy cup and our gift and set off to our friends house. Gavin was very quite and not sure about being surrounded by a bunch of little girls. We got him in the pool since we thought that might help him warm up to the other kids. He enjoyed it for a few minutes but wasn't thrilled. Oh well, Gavin and I went inside while Scott stayed outside to chat with some people out there.

Gavin finally started to warm up and was all over the place and talking up a storm. He was a huge hit with the other moms there. He was certainly putting on a good show and smiling a lot for them, so it was fitting that they enjoyed his company.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the party. I blame Scott because he had the cameras, but I should have taken them out and carried them around if I wanted to have some pictures. I will just have to wait on getting some pictures from our friend because I know she took some great pictures!

It was a lot of fun and the gift we picked out was a big hit too! We look forward to more parties to attend in the future!
