Matthew turns 10!

I always look forward to our family birthday celebrations.  The birthday child gets to choose what we do as a family as well as where they would like to eat for dinner and what they would like for dessert.

When I asked Matthew what he wanted to do he said, "Have a lazy day at home and then go somewhere fancy for dinner."
"Fancy?  Like where?"
"You know, someplace fancy.  Like Red Robin."

Sounded perfect to me!!



We opened gifts early in the day after our Disney surprise.  He didn't receive many gifts from us because he received a new bike!

We set it out while he was upstairs and then called him down.



He was really happy!

He also received a whole series of Star Wars Origami books and was really excited.

He stayed in his sweats all day.  He read, we played Clue, and he took his new ride for a spin.






He worked on putting his gift together from Grammie and Grandpa.



And took a picture with me.



We went to Red Robin....

 

When I asked him what he'd like for dessert his request was simply, a sundae at home.  (We don't count the Red Robin sundae as it is usually passed around the table for everyone to share).  His low maintenance birthday continued....

 

 

I was so grateful for Matthew's easy requests.  It was wonderful just having a quiet day at home with our family celebrating our sweet boy.

Happy Birthday, Matthew.  I hope this next year is extra fun for you!  We love you sooooo much!
