Matt's birthday

I already posted for Matt's birthday, but I wanted to share some photos from Matt's big day.


After breakfast, Matt's Grandma read him a couple of books. He then waited in the car with his grandparents while I voted and picked up our library passes. Then we went to the zoo!


Matt got to get up close and personal with lemurs, gorillas, and more.


The lion, of course, was sleeping.


Saying hello to the ostrich


Walking on his own through the bird exhibits


Chasing down some peacocks

We had a picnic lunch in the park before returning home to wait for Jon so we could celebrate.


While we were waiting, Matt stole my cookies.


And the birthday boy requested as many laps in his Batmobile as possible.



Birthday decorations

After a dinner of meatballs in chunky tomato sauce with rainbow bow tie pasta, it was time for cake and ice cream.



Studying the cake


Checking out the candle


Feeling a bit overwhelmed


Poking at his piece of cake



Time to open presents yet?


Ripping off the wrapping paper


Unpacking the boxes


Reading one of his new books


Helping Jon assemble his new ride on toy

Talk about a busy day!
