Matt's Bowling Birthday Party

We had a surprise party for Matt at the bowling alley in Snoqualmie! It was so much fun. There were about 22 of us in total. I had a special bowling shirt made for him (see pictures below). I figured that a man who owns his own bowling ball, bowling shoes and bowling bag needs a bowling shirt too! It turned out great and he really liked it. My mom and I also made him a T-shirt quilt out of all of his old t-shirts. I've been sneaking them out of the laundry one-by-one for the last 3 years. He was really surprised (and probably glad to figure out where all of his shirts went)! All in all I think he had a great 30th birthday full of fun surprises. It was so much fun to celebrate with everyone.

The "Bowling Alley Guy" presented Matt with his own pin! All the guests got to sign it.
