Happy Birthday, Ryan!

I just love Ryan. He is becoming a little jokester and comes up with some real witty things sometimes. His smile still cracks me up because of his 2 front teeth are still missing and I don't know if there are even teeth up there to come down! He is so sweet and affectionate and incredibly smart. I can't believe he's turned 7 now!

Ryan's birthday is the day after Christmas so we try to celebrate his birthday the weekend before Christmas to help make it a little more special and give some distance on opening presents. This year was the year for a family birthday party and he decide d he wanted to go bowling. My mom came up with my 2 nieces and we had so much fun bowling together.

We then went to lunch at Rubio's (Ryan's choice) and then came back here for presents and cake. Doug made his birthday cake and it was DELICIOUS! Ryan had a great time and LOVED his presents.


On his REAL birthday, we went out to dinner at Ryan's choice. He wanted Panda Express and was so excited when he got to have his OWN meal instead of sharing with Jacob. Aren't we nice parents? Happy 7th birthday, Ryan!
