On Memorial Day weekend we had a birthday fiesta for the little man! Plenty of friends and family made it for quesadillas, cerveza and cake. It was a great time, and we set a new high record for toddlers simultaneously sprinting around our apartment. Sure, Mathias might have been scared of the candles on his cake, but we should be able to tamp down that pyrophobia by next year. (Well, hopefully not too much.)
Some monkeyshines with cousin Aubrey before we ignite the cake.
Saving a seat for the birthday boy.
Lori made the cake. It was delicious!
The Sichtermanns (well, Mathiases too)
The Seidlers/Pursells
And Faheys
Thanks to everyone who made it or sent birthday wishes–we appreciate it, and we had a wonderful time. The party had a fiery finish with the condo two doors west going up in flames! The whole roof was up, the street filled with emergency vehicles, and we even had to evacuate. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but we did get a picture of the family in front of a fire truck.
