Matthew is ONE!!

Yes, I have cried. Yes, I will cry more. Yes, I am sappy. Yes, I will be okay. I guess its harder knowing it's our last child.. our last "first" birthday. We are so thankful for our little man!! He had quite the fun day on the 2nd, his birthday!

He awoke to this waiting for him!

He thought it was cool. Sorta.

Watching his first ever TV.. in his jumperoo! He played more than watched the show, tho!

Birthday cinnamon rolls.. our family tradition!

Singing to our boy!

A hug from "sissa" (that's what he calls her.. he says it pretty cute, too.. mostly just "sssssss"!)

The balloons were a hit!

Unwrapping his present.. more of a rip and shred project!

He LOVE his tube tent.. I need to get some pictures of him playing in it!

Silly Santa girl in the middle of birthday stuff!

Jody came over, too.. Matthew LOVES Jody! Can you tell? ;)

Getting ready to open his present from her.. dump trucks!!

Tonight we met my mom and her husband Doug at Red Robin to celebrate BOTH kids' birthdays (yes, Evelyn's birthday is next Saturday!). It was a "in between the two birthdays" get together. They both had fun and felt celebrated!

Grandma and her boy!

He really tried to color.. but mostly just wanted to put it in his mouth!

Grandma and her Evelyn

Princess stuff.. can't beat it!

She read the card after opening the gifts... of course!

Matthew just wanted to eat his card!

He thought his gift was pretty cool, too!

Neither one of them smiled much when the wait staff came and sung to them. Figures...
But they BOTH loved the ice cream! Matthew's first ice cream!!

Um.. daddy... that is MINE!

Good to the last drop!!

Overall I think Matthew had a great birthday. He won't remember it.. but I hope he can look back at pictures and know he was one loved and celebrated boy!

On to the oldest's birthday now... more Evelyn birthday tales to come!!
