Happy 16th Matthew!!

Matthew turned 16!

The little boy in the Snoopy shirt has turned into a fine young man!

This past Sunday Matthew, (my youngest cousin on the Cherry side of the family) turned 16! He also was ordained as a priest! It was such a neat experience! Before we know it, he will be on his mission! Holy Cow!

Happy 16th Birthday Mattie!

Its a tradition with the Cherry/Rife family to get together on everyones birthday and have a dinner and family party. The whole family comes over, the birthday boy/girl gets to choose what is made for dinner, we open presents, eat cake and ice cream and visit. It has been a really fun tradition that I hope to continue with our future family/children.

Here are some pictures of the party.

(This is the best picture Matthew would give me eating his birthday popcorn! Punk! :D)


The family watching Matthew open his gifts!

Waiting for ice cream and "cake" (Matthew decided to have pie)!
(As you can see from Kendra's face these family parties are full of fun!)


Happy Birthday again Matthew! We Love you!
