Matthew's 2nd Birthday

On October 19th, Matthew turned two.  Here's what his day entailed:

First things first, he opened (read: pulled a blanket off) his present from his parents.

Daddy chose to get him a race car track with six cars that gave him minutes of fun!

Later in the day we went to my parents house where he napped (God's gift) and then received an airplane and airport from my parents.  

The weather was a bit chilly but the rain held off for Matthew's party at Jewett Park Pavillion.  Many friends and family members came to play at the park and enjoy some cupcakes.  Matthew truly had a blast running around, going down slides, and opening presents.  The cupcakes, well, he ate some frosting and then left the rest of the work for his cousin.

After the party, we had tickle time, I mean dinner as a family.  Matthew's hot dog hit the floor after one bite so that was amazing.  All was redeemed though when he was given a pile of pickles.

It was a special and really fun day.
