Happy 35th!!

 Last week Matt turned 35!! Closer to 40 than 30 now :)

We had a fun day celebrating! He went to class in the morning--where he didn't tell them it was his birthday--BOO!! and then we went to a fun family dinner!
One of Matt's favorite foods is pizza, so we headed down to Pizza Hut! We hadn't eaten there yet, and all were excited.

 

Here we are waiting for the bus to go to dinner.

Not sure what Rylie is doing.....

 

Daddy and his girl

  

at Pizza Hut waiting for pizza....again, not sure about Ry.....

 

After dinner we headed home to do cake and presents. The kids had worked all afternoon on their cards and they were so excited to give them to him! While we were gone, a friend brought Matt's big, heavy gift to the house, so it would be waiting when we got here! Here are the kids leading him down to his present!

(rylie is looking and smiling, but there is a toilet in the background...can't win them all)

Here are the kids with Matt and his cake. His homemade chocolate cake with homemade caramel icing. and i know i made it, but I still mourned the washing of the empty cake plate. we had some good, yummy times. sweets are a rarity over here.

There is no picture of the present, but he got an ice maker! He was very excited and the whole family has been enjoying icy drinks!!

I loved celebrating the wonderful man that God has given me! He is an amazing husband, dad, leader, and friend, and I am so thankful that I get to do life with him!

Happy Birthday Matt!!!
