As a family we celebrated Gerrit's birthday on Saturday (you'd think the kid had enough parties already!). We started by having breakfast at Bridgett's with Dahlens. Adam took Gerrit and Luke to a bike race nearby to watch (in the rain). After lunch Gerrit opened his gifts:
He made out quite well too. I wrapped all the gifts that were sent in the mail from family and his fellow birthday friend Marion (my mom's college roommate and Gerrit share the same day). He didn't quite understand the hobby horse but Adam does a great job 'riding' it! Adam enjoyed setting up the Hotwheels stuff he got from his cousins in MI. A fun little series of Hotwheels that will be fun for him to add on to in the future. I think his favorite was the 'football shoes' I found on clearance. I think they are soccer cleats, but he doesn't care (and they are a bit big too). He wore them all day and would choose to wear them all the time if we'd let him! He quickly asked where the helmet, jersey, pants, and pads were to go with the shoes. (He'll have to wait till Christmas for that!) He got a basketball jersey too but of course the shoes overshadowed everything!
We've enjoyed celebrating and can't believe it has been 3 years. We made it through the 2s just fine and are bracing ourselves for a tough year of 3s. We've already seen a glimps of the evil, pushing the limit Gerrit and really hope he doesn't stick around all year!
