Matthew's 9th Birthday

Matthew & Christopher

(Yes they were born on the same day and year.)

We recently celebrated Matthew's 9th birthday. I really can't believe that my first born is already nine. He has a friend, Christopher, that was born on the same day in the same hospital. Christopher is my uncle's wife's nephew, so the boys refer to themselves as cousin-twins. They shared a party this year with a Halloween theme and had such a great time.

Matt's grandmother passed away the day before his birthday so Matthew had to spend his actual birthday at the funeral home. Needless to say, Matthew's birthday did not go as he had planned. Anyway, my dad took me and the boys away from the funeral home for a little while to get something to eat at the local Mexican restaurant. Matthew was very surprised that they came over and sang happy birthday in Spanish and slapped a pie in his face. Just something that simple made his day much, much better.

Happy Birthday Matthew!
