Matney’s Birthday Weekend

It is becoming tradition around here to spend a whole weekend celebrating the girls’ birthdays. Friday was crazy hat day at school and this fabulous mama forgot. Thankfully, Matney’s most wonderful teacher Ms. Sherrie helped her make a hat to wear at school!

We spent Saturday morning at the mall with our usual pretzels and train ride.

Doesn’t Jared look happy? He’d had an issue with a lady cutting in line for the coal car. No worries, I saw it start and intervened! Jared got to go take a walk and I waited until the next train with the girls.

Matney picked Mexican for her bday meal. She loves chips, cheese and people singing to her. She was the one who wanted to go and kept asking to make sure they were going to sing to her but she got really shy when the singers got to the table.

I love these two pictures with her hand over her mouth. Such a cutie!
 




















On Sunday we had Matney’s party at a local gym. She had all the girls in her class come (there are only 5 other girls and 12 boys!) and lots of her other friends. All of the girls seemed to have a great time bouncing around the gym!

They hopped down a long trampoline and then jumped into a big foam pit.

Look who came! It is Ms. Sherrie! When I picked Matney up at school Friday she asked me if Matney was having a party that weekend….because Matney had invited her. Ha! I told her she totally didn’t need to come but she got the party info from me and all the girls from Matney’s class went running to her when she walked in. Have I mentioned how much we adore her? Wonder what she’ll think of us after a year of Halle Kate next year!

The goal of the party, besides Matney having a great time, was to totally wear those little girls out and be able to put them in bed early! ha!

We had snacks and cupcakes before opening presents. It is a lot crazy when there are that many kids together but Matney had a great time. We are thankful to have so many wonderful friends!

Matney woke up to a balloon filled room again this year (thank goodness she reminded us that we did it last year!). It was a school day and we took treats to her class and then had a pizza dinner at home.




Matney got Hungry, Hungry Hippos because her Daddy made me buy it. Way too much noise for a game!

Like Mommy like Daughter - she wanted a rice krispy cake! Whoo hoo! And look at this big girl. Can't believe she is 5!

I don't know why these pictures are turning funny. I'm not going spend time trying to flip them tonight.




Princess Sophia joined the family. She's Matney's favorite right now.

Baby dolls and dump trucks make birthday dinners complete.
