(The 15th day of the new year is the official 'end' of the celebrating, so everyone finishes off their fireworks stash. I think last year's New Year's eve celebration deadened Matt and me to the fireworks. We both agreed that last night's festivities paled in comparison to what we've experienced in the past and both remarked on how 'tame' and 'quiet' it seemed in contrast to last year's new years eve blasts.)
Our day started off with presents! Here's Matt with his gifts from the kids :)
After church we iced his cake (we're saving the second layer of the cake to eat next week when we celebrate with some friends). Julianna is getting pretty good at spreading icing and really good at eating it!
In the late afternoon we went out to try flying kites (one of Matt's gifts). We surprised ourselves with how successful we were (it helped that it was very windy).
But the kites did end up in the bushes on several different occasions!
After supper we went out again to set off some fireworks (a great gift that Matt got from the Andy and EA). It was pretty fun, but Lydia hated it. I mean, HATED it. Oh well, maybe next year :)
It was a super fun day celebrating! Happy Birthday Matt!
