Matt turned 35 on February 27th, and since Claire arrived on February 26th, her and Matt's birthday will forever be intact as separate special days (which we wanted). This year Matt's birthday was undoubtedly overshadowed by his daughter's birth, but he didn't seem to mind:) Isolene was so sweet to bring Matt his favorite dessert, a Baker's Square French Silk Pie, to the hospital along with a birthday hat, plates and napkins - not to mention a decked out Lukers ready for family pictures. Donna and Emil also brought Matt a cake, and he had several presents to open too, so he got some celebration at least.
That same day Matt and Grandpa Mackus did their traditional celebratory shot of "Old Grandad" whiskey. They both forgot how strong it is!

| Hi princess! |

| Mackus family tradition. This bottle was left over from Luke's birth! |
