Somebody turned 2...

Gabe is now 2 years old! We had a nice relaxing birthday. Michael made cowboy coffee cake for b-fast and Gabe also had cinnabun yogurt (which he mainly fed himself). Then we opened presents. We did a little furniture shopping. Gabe took a 3.5 hour nap (mommy took a 2 hr) and then we had his fave dinner (mac n' cheese) which daddy also made. Then gabe demolished a red velvet cupcake! All in all is was a good birthday I'd say!
