Matthew is SIX!


Today we celebrate one of the best things in our lives... our sweet Matthew Donald! Six years ago today he came into the world happy and hungry... and not a whole lot has changed since..haha!!

He was adamant that he was going to wake up early to start the celebration.. and sure enough, he was up before 6! He was ready to open presents and excited for his day. He wasn't too thrilled when I told him he needed to wait until his dad and sister were awake..haha! Soon they were awake and he FINALLY got to open his gifts!



Super excited about his new spy gear from his sister

He was over the moon excited to get the "shield" bike helmet he was wanted for a long time!
Trying out his new spy glasses.. super cool!

The "cinnamon rolls on your birthday" tradition continues..

Make a wish...

We had AWANA tonight. Even tho it was his birthday, he still wanted to go, bless his heart. Instead of going out to a nice place for dinner, we went to Burgerville, where he delighted in their chocolate peppermint milkshake.

They are SO good!!

My sweet boy. There truly aren't enough words to let you know how much you mean to me! Your smile lights up a room and you thoughtful caring heart is evident to all. My prayer for you, son, is that this year you will grow in confidence and know that you are perfect just the way you are. That you will be deeply rooted in the knowledge that you are God's child and no one can take that from you. That you will grow more into who the Lord wants you to be. And that you will find joy all around you... and know that YOU bring joy to so many. 

We love you, Matthew... and are so thankful God gave you to us! Happy Birthday, son!
