Matthew is 5!

How did it happen that my baby is now a 5 year old?? Time has flown by. After my spectacular  birthday surprise, Matthew's birthday will not seem as exciting.

 Matthew loves Lightning McQueen so I made him a Lightning McQueen car cake with oreo tires. It is certainly not professional but it was tasty. He loved it and that's the most important thing. Yummy. Red #40!

We went to Recreations Outlet for Matthew's birthday party. I invited everyone from his class and Austin. Austin is our old neighbor who moved away but yet Matthew absolutely loves him. He is 8 years old and really treats Matthew as a friend.  Matthew prays for Austin every night.

Playing in the house
 For Matthew's birthday dinner we had corn on the cob and cheese quesadillas. That is his favorite meal. We also had orange pop. Orange is his favorite color and he loves soda. Really loves soda. I mean the kid would only drink soda if we let him. So we got some orange pop for him. He is wearing his favorite cars shirt as well. It was a great day for him.

 Uncle Dave and Aunt Becca got Matthew a game requiring a steady hand (slightly ironic for David!). We all played it and had fun. Sarah really loved the game and just played by herself the rest of the night.
Uncle Dave and Aunt Becca's present - a game!

Cars apron!
Grandma made Matthew a few shirts and an apron with Lightning McQueen on them. It was cute! We got Matthew a cross track and a bumpy railroad track. He really loves trains and he always asks me to play trains with him. I told him to smile big in all the pictures (obviously!).
