belated birthday

While my dad was here, we had a little belated birthday party. Dear friends, Deb and Dan, had come over to celebrate. We had a nice meal as a family... I heard a story told about my grandparents I'd never heard before, which was fun. We shared stories and laughed for a while. Then we had some ice cream and opened gifts from Ms. Deb and Mr. Dan. This was a very sweet time. They'd purchased Matthew a train gift and hadn't had a chance to give him it yet so we had a little fun time. Grandpa was able to get it set up and Ms. Deb actually got down and chugged with Matthew. He loved it. He walked around holding his new James for a couple days afterwards. Mark really enjoyed his little computer game too. It's so fun to have sweet friends to share in some special times with us.
