Matt had a really great birthday yesterday. We got to be lazy in the morning and sleep in a little which is a big deal for us. Then Matt opened his gifts from Mom, Dad and Marlie. Marlie bought him batting gloves, football gloves and goalie gloves. He was pumped!!
Mom and Dad bought Matt a frame that shows all the baseball stadiums. We knew he would like it but he LOVED it! Dad hung it up right away and Matt put his flags on the 3 stadiums he had already visited: Astros, Brewers and Padres. He also had a flag to put on the stadium he wants to visit next so he picked both parks in New York!
Then Matt was in for a big surprise...his Gram, Papa Howie, aunts, uncle and ALL 5 cousins came in from San Antonio. He was so surprised that he almost looked scared and then for a moment I thought he was going to cry! It was awesome!
After a great lunch at our favorite sushi place, we came home to hang out. We got some great pics of all the kiddos together...
The San Antonio peeps headed home and then we had some boys over for a sleepover. What was supposed to be 1 or 2 boys coming over to spend the night turned into 4 but it ended up being great. Matt wanted to eat at CFA and then go bowling so that was the plan. We had Micah, Caden, Logan and Cole join us to celebrate. Micah ended up winning or as Logan said "taking us down". Just for the record, Marlie came in 3rd!
Afterwards we came home for cupcakes and Matt opened his presents. He was super excited that Micah gave him an RGIII jersey and loved the Mike Trout figure he got from Caden. He also got a few gift cards and to no surprise has used 1 already to buy a baseball game that he's been saving up for!!
Matt I'm so glad you had a such a wonderful day with your family and friends. You are so blessed to be surrounded by such great people. We love you tons! Wish you could stay 8 forever!!
