Matthew is 6

I can't believe how fast time flies!!  Matthew had his 6th birthday already.  I kept telling him all year that he wasn't allowed to turn 6.  He was OK with that until he realized that meant he wouldn't get a birthday party.  One night, after stories, he asked me if it would be all right if he turned 6 years old.  I sadly relented.

He woke up to pancakes and a smoothie for breakfast in bed.  It seemed like his room was full of presents.  A lot were clothes because he needed new pants for school with the season changing.  He wasn't too interested in that.  He got books, legos, and a pillow pet.  All of his favorite things.

It's a good thing that we all love Halloween at our house because we have a few Halloween birthdays.  Although Savannah insisted she wasn't having a Halloween party this year, Matthew was all for it.  We painted pumpkins, decorated Halloween cookies and had a Halloween carnival.  Matthew invited friends from church and the neighborhood.  It was a great day for a great kid.

We are so lucky to have Matthew in our family.  He brings us a lot of laughter and joy.  He has a great sense of humor and is always coming up with something clever to say.   He is a deep thinker that loves to understand how everything works.  We sure love him.
