Since he won’t remember anything about it anyway we decided to keep it simple. I made a cake and let the boys help me decorate it. It was a double layered cake which was more challenging to make look nice (for me, that is). The icing was a little too soft so the flowers turned into little blobs. The boys thought it looked beautiful. Matthew really liked digging into his portion of the cake. Then we attempted to let Matthew open his own presents but when we realized that he was more interested in the ribbon on it we let the boys dive in. Matthew was so cute even though he had no clue what was going on.

I should also mention for posterity’s sake that this week after our 3 year old Tim became fed up with Matthew’s incessant screaming (it is way of communicating) he said in desperation, “I want to get a new baby, this one screams too much.”

Here are some pictures of the big day:
