Matthew has turned 13. Which means half of the kids in the house are teenagers. Crazy.
Matthew enjoyed cards from away as well as gifts from his siblings.
He wanted and got Lego technic. Which he dove into immediately.
Wow, what a lot of bags you have in there Matthew.
We played Stock Ticker. Matthew won.
Chatting with Oma.
We borrowed some snowshoes so combined with ours we had enough for all but Dad and Nathan to go for a snowshoe walk in the woods somewhere special. Most things are locked down but trails are open!!
It was a bit windy, so we chose a hilly route, so we could find a sheltered valley, maybe.
Matthew had a lot of fun with his borrowed pair of snowshoes. They were pretty fancy.
Off the main trail snow was deep and snowshoe worthy.
We recognized the bridge from biking here in the summer.
We brought along hot chocolate and chips.
And stopped to enjoy it where it wasn't windy.
Matthew was determined to get his item built before he his birthday day off was over and he had to get back to his heavy load of school work.
Done!!
We tried out sparklers for a change. They are hard to light....so don't put one in for each year. Note Daniel staying safely away.
Wondering how to get them all lit in time.
Well, it was certainly more interesting than regular candles.
