We have decided that birthday outings/parties are for younger kids...once you are old enough for a summer job you have to do school on your birthday if it happens during the week. Like all those poor kids out there who aren't homeschooled. But Matthew still got to pick what cake and dinner he had for his birthday.
The cake was really delicious!
Jennifer spent a lot of time making a mobile for him. With airplanes. To match a theme Matthew has going on. It is a pretty impressive creation, with all the balance required to make it work!
And several siblings teamed up to get him a stunt remote control car. It does jumps and flips and things.
Evelyn made Matthew a farm, complete with homemade clay animals. It was a lot of work to make!
The car was a hit with siblings in addition to the birthday boy.
We are thankful for another year of life with Matthew! He is still our most outgoing kid, quick to strike up an acquaintance with someone new...and generally very easy going.
We love his smile (when it is genuine) his sense of humour and his hands on approach to life. He is quickly growing up to be a hard working (charming?) young man.

Haha, I love the bottom photo, lol.
I'm curious what that cake was. Can you message the name to me so I can google it? I'm always on the lookout for good recipes. ;)
As always, I am amazed at the creativity of your kids.
