The long anticipated day finally came...Matthew's 6th birthday! Since his birthday fell on a Tuesday, we had a celebration with his friends on the Sunday afternoon before his birthday. It was a beautiful day, just perfect to be outside. We held it at Reedville Creek Park.

| Dan, helping the kids play "What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf?", a variation of "Red Light, Green Light." It was a hoot! |

| Pinata time! |

 |
| Our big six-year-old boy! He chose a store-bought Star Wars cake this year. Needless to say, this mama was sort of glad to get out of cake-making duty this year! |

On Tuesday, Matthew's birthday, it was another beautiful day. We went to the zoo with my mom during the day.
 |
| Matthew woke up to his door decorated. A tradition we started last year. He even remembered the night before and asked me about it. Good thing it was in the works! |
 |
| Pancakes for the birthday boy. |
 |
| Claire gave her big brother a very special birthday gift at breakfast: a voluntary kiss on the lips (More special than you might think!) |
 |
| On the zoo train with Grandma. Thanks for the ride, Grandma! |
 |
| I like this one with their two heads together. =) |
That evening, my parents came over for dinner (meatloaf: Matthew's request) and cupcakes.
 |
| My favorite six-year-old! |
Dan and I are so thankful for the boy God has placed in our family. He is tender-hearted toward the Lord, thoughtful, a gentle big brother, eager to learn, a joy to be around, and full of boyishness! We can't wait to see what this next year holds for our big boy!
