Matthew's Birthday Weekend

What a weekend! We celebrated Matthew's 4th birthday on Saturday with a trip to Disneyland. The heat was mind numbing so we got there early and left by noon. We got annual passes for his birthday so we plan to have lots of return trips when the weather cools.
We bought him Mickey Mouse ears and he loved them. He wore them all day!
Of course being his birthday he wanted a lollipop!
What a face!
Of the attractions we visited, his favorite the the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We crossed overe to California Adventure to see it. We were not sure if he would sit still but WOW! He loved it!
After coming home and cooling off with a swim, we headed over to the Tabari's home to spend the evening with them. Matthew was so thrilled he reminded us a million times that day....I guess he wanted to make sure we did not forget.
Matthew loves the ladies...especially his "Coach Miss Weesa" and Coach Yazz.
It was Shab's birthday so everyone sang to both of them. Matthew had his own special GFCF cake which he of course sucked the frosting off of in a split second.

The next day we had our families over to celebrate. All of the kids went swimming and enjoyed a reprieve from the heat.
Matthew is getting so brave in the water. Here he is swimming to Zach.
His boy cousins hung out in the back yard. How cute are all of them? I can't get over how grown up they are becoming.
Matthew was eating inside and saw the boys outside. He picked up his plate, took it outside and says "I go eat with boys. Cousins...I am coming". So wonderful to see his increasing interest in spending time and playing with others.

Matthew can be a little sound sensitive so he sang Happy Birthday solo but everyone clapped and he blew out his candle, then inhaled his cake.

I can hardly believe that 4 years have gone by since this beautiful boy was born. They have certainly been the happiest of our lives.

We could not be more proud of you sweet boy!
We love you!
