Matthew Is Six -- Lisa is ??

We had a birthday extravaganza on the third weekend of October, spilling into Monday and Tuesday. We celebrated both Matthew's and Lisa's birthdays, with lots of help from Christina, Olivia, Michael and Nonni. There were cakes, cupcakes, ice cream and presents starting on Saturday, and not concluding until Tuesday evening (Matthew's actual birthday)!

So it started Saturday making the first cake for the celebration with cousins Olivia and Michael:


Then that night, he blew out the candle (singlular), and we all enjoyed the home-baked cake:


Then, it was on to Lisa's birthday (Monday), and then cupcakes at school for Matthew with his class on Tuesday. That night, there was yet another cake!

Whew! After all that, we will need a whole year just to work this off.
