Happy 10th Birthday Gabriel.

Saturday was my baby's 10th birthday. I say it every year, but I really can't believe he is 10. Double digits is a BIG deal. I wanted to do something extra special and memorable so I rented a limo to surprise him and his friends. The party started at the house at 3. We had cupcakes, played Name That Song, and had a Guitar Hero challenge. At 4 the limo was waiting outside the house. I handed out the VIP passes and lined up the kids at the door. They still had no idea what the surprise was. It was so fun to hear them all guessing and asking for clues. I had them close their eyes and walk out to the front yard. I had the camera ready on Gabriel's face to get his reaction when he saw the limo. It was PRICELESS! Him and his friends were saying how awesome and cool it was. The limo company even put a happy birthday banner and balloon in the car for Gabriel. That was a nice touch. Our first stop was Braums for ice cream. The reaction from some of the customers was just what I was hoping for. The boys loved it. They looked like they could have been a new boy band in the making. If I would have thought about that we could have said that's what they were. After ice cream we drove around downtown OKC, stopped and took some pictures, and let the kids run around a bit. We had the limo for 2 hours which was perfect. When we got home he opened his presents and the party was over. The day couldn't have been any more fantastic! I don't think Gabriel will ever forget it.
