Happy Birthday, Matthew!

On a cold New Year's Eve 22 years ago, this kid entered our lives!  He has been a blessing and a joy to raise!
 

This past year has been a year of many changes for him.  At the beginning of the year he moved out of our home and into a "tiny house" on our property. (I still need to do a post of the pictures!)  In the spring he graduated from college and started at another school to begin the last leg of his academic journey.  Then this fall he landed a new job ending an era of him working at Publix and the feed store which he had been doing since he was sixteen.  For some odd reason it made me a little sad. :(


He wanted to go bowling with the family for his birthday.  Myles had a leg infection so I kept the two little boys at home.


When they finished bowling they headed home for dinner and dessert.  He always chooses ice cream pie! Well, in our case it is ice cream casserole!  We are too big for a pie!



We always hang out and watch movies on his birthday.  Usually the guys pick something to watch and the girls watch in another room.


Grandpa hanging out with Elliott. He partied until midnight!


Us girls watched "A Case for Christ".  It was very good!


Elliott pooped out of the party!

 
 Marc and Matthew always shoot a shotgun at midnight!


Thankful for another year and thankful for our oldest son!
