Matthew Turns 35!

We had a nice screened in porch built back in February and so we thought we'd put it to good use with a party to celebrate the 35th birthday of the man in the house!!

The feature was Daddy's newest project! He built this gorgeous storage bench into the porch! We found some nice cushions and pillows at target to finish out the look! Great job Matthew! You are so very talented!! These two pics were taken the morning of his bday.




Daddy is quite lucky when he's dealt a three and five in Texas Hold 'Em. Oddly enough, he will play these cards to win and more often than not, he does!! So, since he turned thirty five this year, we thought we'd do something extra special and celebrate the THREE and FIVE in a fun way! We got up and made daddy a special pancake breakfast! Here is Abigail very excited to make pancakes for daddy and knowing full well that it was his birthday! She was more excited to know that we'd be having cake later on in the day...more like frosting! :)


THE CAKE MADE BY MOMMY! Putting my new cake decorating skills to use...I baked up a German Chocolate cake covered in Buttercream Frosting for the birthday boy!!


A few of my favorite pictures from the birthday came by way of the teeny tiny variety! From Left to Right: Ava Greider, Abigail Wolf, and Violet Truly. Enjoying some appetizers during the party on the sweet bench Daddy hand crafted for his baby girl!!



And someone who clearly knows when mommy is behind the camera!!



Aw, sweet Ava serving up a weenie for her buddy Abigail!



The cake, up close just before the lighting of the candle.



We had our 2nd Saturday friends over for the birthday fun. The guys watched the end of the Masters inside while the ladies relaxed out on the porch with some beverages and frozen grapes!
Here are some beauties relaxing in the porch: Tiffany & Holly
