Sunday was a very special day for us! Not only did we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior but it was also Matthew's 4th birthday! Exactly one year ago on his 3rd birthday we closed on our home and everyone asked how we were going to top the gift of a home. It actually wasn't that hard once I realized his birthday fell on Easter. To be completely honest his birthday last year was a side note to the excitement we had for the new house. This is the only photo I have of Matthew from his 3rd birthday. bad mom.
So this year I made up for the lack of birthday celebrating and took plenty of pictures!
When he first woke up he was greeted with this excitement on the dining room table.
The best part about this picture is the fact that all of the gifts came from Goodwill, garage sales, Dollar Tree or uber marked down at TJ Max or Target. He loved everything and could not stop thanking us for his birthday! Here is a close up of his Dollar Tree Easter basket. I think the total for the basket contents was a little under $12 and the basket was from a previous Easter. Score!
You may want to know what a 4-year-old eats on his Easter birthday. Cinnamon rolls of course!
Next it was time to get super clean for church.
Unfortunately, Patrick was called into work about an hour before we left for church. :( However, church was wonderful! My dad and step mom joined Matthew and I. It was a great service with great music. It was wonderful having my dad and Barbie at church with us too. After church we headed to my Aunt Ann's. There is always way to much food, a CRAZY Easter egg hunt and this year we added presents and cake for Matthew. The egg hunt consists of 40 eggs/child in a huge yard with tons of trees and places to hide unseen eggs. We actually found a few eggs from last year, GROSS! Matthew was on cloud 9 the whole time.
We quickly left Aunt Ann's to head over to another Easter/birthday celebration at Grandpa & Grandma Swisher's. Everyone there had been patiently waiting for our arrival and Patrick was able to meet us there. We ate brownie's and ice cream and opened more presents.
