Matthew turned 6 yesterday!!  He had to wait all day to open his gifts, which was complete agony for him, I can assure you!  So, right before dinner he was able to tear into everything and was very happy with everything he got. :-)

He wanted a bug party, so we decided to make a dirt cake with bugs and worms on it .  I bought these bugs at Wal Mart that grow over a period of a couple of days, so we started those on Tuesday to get everyone in the mood.  We put those on the table as decorations.  We had balloons everywhere and our Happy Birthday banner on the hutch, which added to the festivities.  He loved it so much!  He was our little king for the day.  :-)

I wanted to let everyone know what Matthew did with his gifts that we thought was really cute and funny.  I wrapped all of his gifts on Wednesday afternoon and left them on my bed.  He went in to my bathroom, but after awhile I thopught that he might be getting into the gifts as it was really quiet in there and taking too long.  I went in to find he had found some leftover bows from Christmas and he had put a bow on each gift to spruce them up!!  It was so cute, and he was so excited about his birthday, we all got a chuckle over it. :-)

Matthew loves bugs, especially flies--yuck!!  I found this at Jo-Ann's and let Jacob give it to him.  Now he can catch his "friends" and they can live in there instead of the house!!

Tim wanted the fishing pole to be a special gift from him to Matthew.  The boys are so excited to do a lot of fishing with Tim this summer.

Please excuse the mattress in back of them.  We were changing beds around right before this and stopped for his party!

Becky made this for Matthew and she used it as the tag for her gift to him.  She ran out of t's, so she put Mathew instead of Matthew.

Chelsea had this by the sliding glass door when we got home.  We all do love Matthew very much.  It's so nice to see the kiddos show their love for each other.  :-)
