Sunday was Matthew's 5th b-day! I can hardly believe it, it has gone by too fast. I want to savor every moment as I am sure the next few years will go by even faster. We started the festivities with a Matterhorn cake. GFCF and delicious. It was also his very first b-day cake too.
It was a hit! He loved it.
We just had our families over and our close friends, the Rao family. It was really a happy day for us because Matthew understood the significance of the day. We were able to sing Happy Birthday for the very first time, in the past it would be too much for him. He was so excited to open presents too. He asked several times to open the gifts and had fun unwrapping and seeing what was inside.
His precious Bubby was there to assist in the festivities.
It was a hot day so the cousins all went for a swim.

Monday we went with Jen and Kiran to Disneyland. The kids were excited to get there. Of course, Matthew had the agenda for the day. Matterhorn, Matterhorn, and more Matterhorn.
Look at those happy faces!
Looks like Matthew corrupted Kiran and he is now a thrill ride junkie too!
It was a warm day so they rode Splash Mountain a few times too. Look at my little guys skinny arms in the air. :)
Such a fun day! There were no crowds, tolerable heat and 2 happy kids. Life is good. It has been a wonderful year for Matthew. Much progress and understanding. We still have a journey ahead but we feel that the most difficult times are behind us, his future is limitless.
I love you Matthew. You have given your Daddy and me the best years of our lives.
