Two Years Old!

Matthew turned two today.
We had cake, ice cream and presents. And Matthew wore his 2 shirt - made by Scott and I - super awesome! :) Something about it reminds me of Thing 2 from Cat in the Hat.

The cake - decorated (also awesomely) by me. I think I stole the car idea from my sister-in-law Angie, who's cake looked way better. :) Matthew liked the cars and the jelly beans.

We went to the Newport Creamery for lunch. Matthew was excited to be able to have a chocolate shake.

Matthew is so grown up! With a little help, he took this picture of Scott and I. It looks a lot better than pictures I take!!

Unwrapping presents, with lots of helping hands.

All Matthew ate of the cake was a couple jelly beans I put on his piece. He was too distracted by toys! We did a picture treasure hunt for him to find all his gifts. I took pictures of different places in the house and pasted the pics on cards. Then we went to them one at a time to get the gifts. Matthew kind of got the hang of it, but was also easily distracted by things along the way. Oh well. I don't have pictures of it, 'cause I was helping him do it.

He loved his new birthday bike! He's still learning about peddling.

Here's Matthew two years ago as a newborn.

And Matthew at 2! What a big boy! Happy Birthday, buddy!
