Birthday Party Fun!

We threw Ryan a birthday party at Gymboree this year. He has been attending classes here since he was about 7 or 8 months old. He absolutely loves this place. We couldn't think of anything more fun for him to do with all of his friends for his party than to get them all to his favorite place for some serious play fun! We were a little worried that all of the people would cause Ryan to shut down a little, but the exact opposite occurred. He realized that he was a the center of attention and really showed off his Gymboree skills. He had such a wonderful time, and we are so thankful to have such a great place with great staff to enjoy!

Adorable cake. The clown is Gymboree's mascot, Gymbo.

Happy 2nd Birthday Ryan Andrew!!

Ryan - mommy and daddy are so proud of everything that you are. You amaze us each and everyday and keep us laughing all of the time. The past 2 years have flown by and it brings us such joy to see how you are growing up. You are so smart, witty, strong willed, sweet, loving, mindful, and conscientious. We are so lucky to have you as our son. We love you so so much son.

We decided to document Ryan's birthday by pictures. Rob and I woke him up singing happy birthday. He then opened his presents and played with them for a little while. We took him to breakfast, then me and Lilly took him to the splash park to meet Grammy for some fun. After the splash park we had to make a quick stop at Target, then home, lunch, and nap. After his nap the celebration continued with lots of playing, dinner, cupcakes, ice cream, more presents, more playing, and then bath and bed. His 3 cousins, Aunt Amy, and Uncle Benny were supposed to come over to party and play, but his cousin, James, came down with croup last night so all were banned from our house. It was a great day and I think our little guy realized that it was his special day. We are a little sad that he is already 2, but also very excited to see him grow and develop his own little personality.

Stay tuned for pictures from his birthday party this weekend!!

Literally opened his door and snapped this picture as we were singing.

Presents!

He knew exactly what to do!

This is such a fun little ride on toy. It is battery operated and made for his age so it is safe and fun for him!

Yummy!

Best picture from the park.

Happy Birthday Brother!

Target popcorn, another favorite of Ryan's!

Dinner - grilled hot dogs, of course!

Cupcakes!

We have been watching you tube videos on singing happy birthday and blowing out candles. I think it paid off b/c he knew exactly what to do.

He likes ice cream more than cake.

He was so amped up on sugar here. This is the only picture of the 2 kids that I could get.

So adorable.

Cutting food!

Doodle Pro from his cousins, Aunt and Uncle. He LOVED this!

Kiss for Teeti.
