Greg's Birthday

Grandma flew to Texas yesterday to be with Greg and his family over birthdays and Christmas

Today is Greg's birthday. The big kids are with their Dad in OK over Christmas. So it is only the little boys, Cathi, and me to celebrate Greg's day. We met him at his work at lunchtime and went to an all-you-can-eat spaghetti restaurant nearby.
Fortunately, they sat us in a room by ourselves as Gabe cried and cried and cried. He was having a 2-year-old meltdown because he had to leave his M&M container in the car. Not only does he look like Karin, but the crying reminded me of her too! ;-) Another thing about him like Karin: when he awakens in the morning, he stays in his bed! He never tried to climb out of his crib and now he is in a toddler bed and does not get up until told he can!!!! Karin never got out of bed until told she could! Amazing! Greg was NOT that way! LOL We had to put the side of his crib down fairly early so that he would not kill himself climbing out.

Tomorrow is Greg's last day of working at MAACO after 4.5 years. He has many personal things there to bring home -- including 2 vehicles. So I drove his S10 truck home after lunch.

For his birthday dinner, Greg chose Joe's Crab Shack. Gabe had fun finding all the "wishes" (fishes) on the walls and ceiling!

Gabe definitely has a love affair with Daddy!

Greg and Cathi shared a crab dinner.

Christmas is coming, and there are still lots of preparations to do. We went shopping at Walmart for some gifts and groceries so that Grandma can make cookies tomorrow!
