Birthday Boy

Better late than never. Matthew had a birthday last week. He was adamant that he did not want a party, so we just made a fun day for the family.

Matthew and I have a tradition of making his birthday cake together. Don't laugh at the decorations until YOU try to make a train signal with a pressurized can of frosting.


Matthew chose miniature golf as the first activity of the day. They don't have windmills and castles and gangbangers at our golf place like they do in California. It's just plain astroturf and crooked holes here.

This place had an arcade, too, so we played some games.

Matthew picked Jack in the Box for lunch. Then we came home, opened presents and had cake. Later on, we went swimming, then went to a hibachi restaurant for dinner. Matthew declared it "one of the better birthdays," then said he was tired at 7:00pm.

Later on, Kevin did this with the candles. Do you see what I have to live with, folks?
