A Celebration!

Matthew had his 28th birthday December 29. We didn't actually get to celebrate with friends and family until this weekend. Grey was thrilled when he woke up from his nap on Friday to find GiGi in his room! Barry and Cheryl came up on Friday and we did a little shopping and went to Peppers (yum!) for dinner. Matthew just happened upon a new arrival of MarioKart at Wal-Mart earlier in the day so we all took turns playing. Barry and Cheryl were the most entertaining.

Saturday morning my parents and my Gram came up. Johnny and Trish came over for lunch and then we all played Qwirkle. Thankfully Matthew got Qwirkle for his birthday so we will be able to play anytime we want. I think we are addicted to it. I made my mom's chicken enchilladas and taco dip for lunch. This is one of Matthew's all time favorite meals. I also attempted to make my mom's extremely delicious chocolate cake. I don't really prefer baking and I was a little nervous about it because I know how it is supposed to taste. Everyone pretending like they liked it but I personally thought it was gross. Regardless of the cake, we had a great day and Matthew seemed to really enjoy himself which was really all that mattered.

There are really 28 candles on there.
