After the friend birthday, we got ready for the family birthday. We stuck with the rainbow balloon theme, and Haley and I made balloons out of fondant for the cake. It was pretty fun -- like playing with play dough! And Matthew loved his cake!
The little kids went with Grandma Nan to build at Lowe's, and then grabbed a couple of pizzas. We made it a lunch party, so we ate the pizzas, then had cake and ice cream.
It just so happened that it was the day before I left for New York, so I was taking every spare minute I could to get everybodys' calendar ready. It was the last week of school, so things were especially busy. But we got 'er done!
Then came present time...
Matthew went right for the biggest one first, of course! Grandma and Grandpa Jane and Jerry got him a plasma car, which all the kids love (thankfully, it holds up to 200 lbs, so no breakage!). He got many, many Yoshi things, including a big Yoshi doll, a Yoshi bag, and a Yoshi RC car. He was very excited about those things (you can always tell when Matt's excited -- he has quite the happy-face). He got some new Crocs -- blue -- just like he wanted, some new Leap Frog videos, and of course a nice, new, crisp $20 from Grandma Bertha!
