Birthday Party!

Matthew's birthday was a good time.. Although we do owe our good friends a BIG apology because apparently their invite got lost in the mail.. We are VERY SORRY!! :( And we missed you greatly since we even called you.. and then realized the mail man ate yours.. And then were embarrassed...

Everyone grab a string.. The pinata will be pulling will begin..

Yeah that didn't take long..

It's still falling out WHILE they pick it up..


Melee..

The present frenzy..

Good times..

What a better time - A slide with a pool full of balls in a bedroom..

Cake - With candles..

Candles being lit..

Candles Lit..

Candle blowing..

More plate carry-age..

Matthew, being the ever good boy, was taking his used plate to the trash.. Via the mouth..

Ahh the signs of a "good" cake.. When the plate gets LICKED clean..

Mind you he LICKED it clean AFTER he dropped it on he floor..

Wiping his hands off.. On himself..

The girls awaiting foooooooood..

Cheesers..

I was clearly NOT fast enough to deliver said food..

She's just cute..

He decided his place VERY early..

Birthday Bonanza!

Mattie was so excited top open his first present.. And it was from Abby!

He even hugged her to thank her like a good boy.. Not quite sure why she was surprised by what he got.. She picked it out, wrapped it and gave it to him.. Still a little confused on that one..

Grandad!

Mom and Dad got him Buzz Lightyears full arsenal..

Mattie plays with a new toy.. While wearing pirate cap.

And how could I resist posting that?

The Cakes for Birthday Blow Out!

So what is a 3rd Birthday without a cake. Well, if ONE cake is good.. How about 2?!??! SO... We had 2.. One mostly plan with chocolate and one well.. Not so plan.. with No sprinkles.. And of course.. I had to have help cleaning up..

Matthew licking the beater - AFTER we were done with it of course..
