Birthday Boy

Yesterday was Matt's 18th birthday.  He spent the day with his sweet girlfriend.   I was "in" on the surprises she had planned and just couldn't say no when she asked to have him for "the day."    She took him to Fort Pike and they had a picnic.  

She brought him home and told him to dress up....then took him to his favorite restaurant for dinner!

They are such a cute couple

Today,we had our birthday for him.    Matt was worn out from the day before so I stuck with a few favorites...

When he got up, I made him some beignets

After opening presents, we took him out to dinner...

And back home we enjoyed his favorite, my Fresh Strawberry cake!

No huge gift with bells and whistles or tires and horns.  But he did get some snazzy new duds and was surrounded by people who love him.  He had a great weekend.

We love you Matt and are so proud of the wonderful man you've grown in to.
