happy birthday, daddy!

as luck would have it, both big kids were still off from school today and matt took the day off from work so that we could celebrate his birthday!  we didn't have anything too grand planned.  in fact, matt chose what to do on his day and this is how it went - breakfast at cracker barrel (gift card and coupon), opening a new bank account, changing the oil in his car, chipotle for lunch (again gift card), working on a hd antenea for the house (to get rid of cable) and a second turkey dinner.  might not sound great to you, but it was a pretty great day for matt!

we finished off the day with a pan of brownies (from a box, no extra anything per matt) and vanilla ice cream.  the kids were so exciting to sing to him.  i made him have some candles.  i didn't push them in deep enough and when he blew them out, one fell over.  mason then asked him to blow the rest over - um, that might not happen. :)

we are so blessed to have such a wonderful friend, husband, daddy, man in our lives.  we love you, matt!  love.
