Matthew is 2

Matthew is 2 I am 2  

We celebrated Matthew’s birthday a day early and squished it in-between a soccer game and a fun outing to Strasbourg, France. We ate sandwiches, chips and strawberry kiwi soda.  For Matthew’s cupcakes I took my sister-in-laws yummy trifle recipe and changed it up for cupcakes.  Angel food cupcakes… cream cheese whipping cream for the icing… and cup up strawberries piled on top.  Our favorite.   That ‘icing’ is to die for… Matthew loves it too.

Matthew liked the candles and knew just what to do.  Luke was very impressed.

We were so impressed he blew his candles out so fast we clapped and cheered… he was so cute!

Matthew got one present from us… a big box of dinosaurs.  He was so busy playing he wouldn’t even look up once… especially because Luke was telling him to.  I think these dinos are going to get some great play time.

Matthew also got spoiled with LOTS of books from both Grandparents and visiting aunts!  Thank you for ALL the presents, everyone!!
