Matthew graduated to be being a teenager last month, which also means Scott and I have been parents for 13 years!! Matthew requested a homemade cheesecake for his birthday cake. Here is Scott working on it on the morning of the birthday. Scott makes a delicious homemade cheesecake.
Here's the cake much later after baking. So perfect looking.
My parents came up from Lehi for the birthday festivities and we had a D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) themed scavenger hunt for gifts.
Here Matthew defeated a goblin or something to earn a gold coin.
Fighting monsters in their lair
Being chased by bees - he had his 12 sided dice and if he rolled a certain thing he could defeat the bees, otherwise he had too be chased for a little bit before trying again.
Finally he earned enough coins to meet the wizard who gave him a clue to the whereabouts of his birthday gifts.
Enjoying birthday cake!
Happy Birthday Matthew!!
Matthew wanted to go to a local escape room for his birthday. Here we are just before starting our escape room adventure. I researched a lot to find one that wouldn't be too scary for the whole family. We ended up doing a Downton Abbey themed one. I'm the only one who knew anything about Downton Abbey but prior knowledge really only came in handy on one item of the game. It was pretty fun, but we didn't escape the room in time. We got close though. We weren't allowed to take any pictures inside, but we had a good time and everyone was able to participate, except Emma, who cried most of the time because there had been a skeleton (that was supposed to be humorous) in the safety video we watched beforehand. Oh well.
We also went out to Freddy's for a birthday lunch and had a fun birthday movie night that night. It was a fun weekend.
