Happy birthday to my boy!

June 4, 2006 · Filed Under general

We just finished up the weekend of festivities in honor of my son Matthew’s 7th birthday.

On his actual birthday — Saturday, June 3 — he got to go shopping, where he got some Thomas the Tank Engine stuff, followed by a round of mini-golf & a pizza dinner at Giggles Pizza (the best pizza in Valpo!) with his best friend Jeremy (Mom, Dad, & big sister Melissa were but bit players! :wink:).

The pizza dinner was then followed by cake at home:

Then on Sunday, after church & lunch, day 2 of the birthday weekend continued with a bowling party with a bunch of his little friends from school:

There was, naturally, much loud, raucous laughter & high-intensity fun — the kind that can only be generated by six 1st grade boys!
Great fun was had by all, including a now very tired mom & dad! I must give huge & well-deserved props to my beloved bride, as she did an incredible job in getting all this planned & executed for her baby boy (it’s a well-known fact that the Piper men are big-time mama’s boys — right, big sis [who is also Matthew's Godmother, btw...]? But my mama says that there’s nothing wrong with that, so who am I to argue! :mrgreen:)
