The Man of the House Has Another Birthday

We celebrated Matt's birthday last Friday.  Friends of ours invited us to their house.  They were concerned about encroaching on Matt's big day, but we said, "Hey!  That sounds great!"

One of Matt's favorites, BBQ pulled pork, was served for dinner.  The family who hosted us has three boys, so my boys were tickled to have other kids to join them in their favorite cowboy games.  The adults had time to fellowship and talk about everything from homeschooling, to homesteading to shotguns (well, the guys talked about that).  We sang hymns and "Happy Birthday" and ate a delicious dark chocolate cake that Grace made for her Daddy.

 Even though I had warned my kids earlier in the day that when it was time to go home, there would be no complaints, it didn't work out that way.  My little guys were having so much fun that they didn't want to leave, even though it was past their bedtime.  Needless to say, they were tuckered out when we finally did get home.  They slept until 7:30 the next morning--proof that they had hit their limit of fun the night before.
