So we made it to Carraba's Friday evening for Matthew's birthday dinner. After telling the lady holding the door, the hostess, the lady that seated us, and our waiter twice, Matthew had all but given up that he was going to get a special surprise for his birthday. After asking if we wanted dessert and us saying No Thank You, the waiter returned from behind Matthew with this bowl of ice cream, caramel topping, and candied pecans with a candle on top. Was Matthew ever surprised. We sang happy birthday quietly and snapped a few photos. This is my favorite.
And then there was the small matter of the Ninja birthday party - Saturday 2:30 - 4:30 pm. Matthew decided on the gymnastics place we have been going to on Friday and Saturday evenings for his party. We had 24 kids from his class, neighbors, and ex-neighbors and everyone had a great time. The "coaches" at the gym were great and kept an eye on the kids, led games, served food and cake, and cleaned up! 277 photos later...ok, I won't bore you with all of them at once.
Here are some highlights...
I was so thrilled when I picked up his birthday cake. "Tweety" the cake decorator at Safeway called last Saturday to confirm why I wanted a large grey circle in the middle of a white frosted cake. When I explained we were going with the Ninja Turtle theme, she immediately got on board with the manhole cover and purple, red, blue, and orange streamers. With Matt's b-day gift of mini turtles on top as a surprise, the cake was stunning and equally tasty.
Most all of the kids (except the girls !?!) put on a forest green T-shirt and Ninja colored waist tie to get in the turtle spirit!
While Matthew held court at one end of the table, Andrew managed a gaggle of older girls at the other end (funny, he fit right in!). We didn't have time to open gifts at the party so we brought it all home and spent the evening opening all the great gifts. Happy Birthday Matthew! Happy taking off all the twist ties and building Lego toys Mom & Dad!

Matt,
WOW! You had quite a 7th birthday didn't you? I wish we could have been there because I love to rope swing, and so does Pat. We used to swing across the Shunganunga creek in Topeka, near the BMX track. We got wet a few times too. Enjoy your treasure haul! Uncle Corwyn
