Matthew's 2nd Birthday!

Last Thursday was our little Matthew's 2nd birthday.  I can't believe it's almost been a year since he came into our home.  We had Derk & Debbie, Grandma Rhea, & Grandma Archie over to have a Coldstone Ice Cream Cake and watch him open his presents.  His face as he opened his train from Derk and Debbie was priceless!  I have never seen a kid so excited for a present in my life.  After Matthew opened presents we watched home videos and visited, it was a really nice night.

Saturday we invited some friends to go swimming at the Wellness Center for a Pizza party.  Matthew loved it.  He got some great gifts and ate tons of pizza and cupcakes.  I'm so grateful we have good friends we can celebrate with.  

Matthew's favorites right now are:  trains, cars, and balls.  He also loves the cartoons Team Umizoomi and Bubble Guppies.  My favorite thing he says is, "Jeez Mom!"  He also says, Kadee, Connor, dad, grandma, papa, nana, baby, amen and others I can't think of right now.  He always folds his arms and bows his head for prayers and loves going to nursery.  Love this little boy and am so grateful he joined our family.
