Matt's Birthday!

We had a surprise party for Matt the day before his birthday!  I had asked him if he wanted to have people over like Vance and Jimmy had and he said no, so I didn't pursue it, well Jimmy wrote me on Facebook on Thursday night I believe and said that Matt asked him if I was planning a surprise party and when Jimmy told Matt no, Matt said "oh good" but Jimmy said it looked like he DID want something, so we got to work!  I emailed and text all the wives, and had Jimmy contact the people I didn't have numbers/emails for.  We were gonna go see The Dark Knight Rises on Friday morning, but Kymbree wasn't feeling well, so it worked out pretty good that I stayed home with her and got ready for the party.

Based on what I got him for his birthday, we went for a BYU themed party. . .

The cake, a work in progress. . .
