Matt's Birthday

Matt's birthday is April 23, but we had a celebration at the house a week early because we had some out of town company (Aunt Kim, Ryan, Ashley, and Parker.)
These pictures are backwards because I don't feel like doing a bunch of cutting and pasting. It's midnight as I am writing this.

This was the best birthday family picture we could all muster. Sammy looks royally peeved about the whole thing. I think she was just mad that we interrupted her playtime with Parker.

Sammy and Parker were big helpers with Matt's presents :)

Grampy got Matthew his first Monster truck.

The cake!! Sam and I made it :) Ashley helped with the icing because I had no idea how to use the frosting bags.

I made him this onesie, my first attempt at freezer paper stenciling. Ashley has been teaching a lot of crafty things since she has been here. I'm so thankful for that :)

They love each other :)

I could just squeeeeze him! I need to capture this smile on video. It's hilarious. Everytime a flash goes off he busts out with the cheesiest smile. He has done it since around 6 months old.

The awesome banner Ashley made. I love it and I need to get around to hanging it up in his room.

Super cool (and yummy) spaghetti cupcakes that Aunt Kim made.

We had such a great time. Thank you everyone for being here to celebrate Matt's 1st year :)
