Matthew is 9! He turned 9 last week and we celebrated with cake and presents. We also went swimming for his birthday. Scott couldn't be there 'cause he was finishing up his reserve duty.
We made a special chocolate cake and Anna decorated it for Matthew
My mom put up this banner for Matthew

So Matthew is 9 now. He wanted video game things for his birthday - no more toys (except Legos).
He is a great big brother but sometimes he just needs some privacy.
Scott face timed with us for cake and presents.
He got the PC version of Minecraft for his birthday and was really excited to play
And a week later - when Scott could be here - we had a friend party. Matthew invited 7 friends from school and they all came. Plus one kid Matthew invited casually and didn't tell me about. So with Matthew and Anna we had 10 kids. It was fun - those kids have energy! First we played Laser Tag which everyone LOVED!! Then we bowled while eating pizza. After bowling we had cake and opened presents, then the kids played some arcade games there until their parents came. Everyone wanted to play Laser Tag again but we didn't have time.
Most of the kids opted for bumpers for bowling. Anna ended up getting the highest score bowling. She got two strikes and a couple spares. She was using the bumpers too.
Cake time! The bowling alley took care of everything - including the cake - for a very good price.
It was a great party!
After our very exciting birthday party we celebrated a little more.
We had a picnic at the park

We watched Zootopia which was surprisingly good!
We saved a few presents for Matthew to open while Scott was here.
He did a treasure hunt with clues in code that Matthew had to decode. It took a while but it was fun.
Legos! We then went out to Freddy's for dinner and ice cream to finish out our Matthew celebration.
