Birthdays!

After the cousins portrait fiasco, we headed over to Chuck E. Cheese for Matthew's 4th birthday party.

We chowed down on pizza and cake, and had  a great time celebrating with Matthew.

 

Matthew and Aunt Lisa in the ticket blaster - so funny!

 

Cousins boogy down in front of the blue screen



Mark even got into it!




Matthew is one of the sweetest, happiest kids I know.
We are so thankful he is in our family! Happy Birthday, Matthew!

 On Sunday night, Mark had his first 1st birthday party. I cannot believe that my baby is almost a year old.
I have a feeling that won't be the first time you hear me say this over the next few weeks.  



that birthday hat lasted all of about 4 seconds

One more cousins shot. I love MEL's face in this one.



He thoroughly enjoyed his birthday cake!



another proud brother moment

Grammie made Mark the most beautiful photo book highlighting his first year in pictures.
Such a special gift!
