Ryan's Happy "Un-Birthday" at School

Ryan's amazing school allowed each kid with a summer birthday to have a special birthday party before the school year ended.  It was such a special day!  Ryan was the leader for the day, he wore a special hat, they threw him a party, and he received a coupon for a free ice cream! I was allowed to join the party, and it happened to be on a day that Lilly was at home with me (due to a nasty allergy attack) so she was able to join her "brudder" for the special day.  I can't believe my sweetheart will be 4 in June.  sniff.

Singing Happy Birthday with real candles to blow out!  

Receiving his ice cream coupon from Mrs. Schmidt

The entire class, minus sweet Addie.

Passing out his birthday cookies to everyone (he was very specific about what type/color of cookies to buy).  Apparently he knew what he was doing b/c when the kids saw the yummy treats they all screamed that these "were their favorite cookies!" and all 11 kiddos gobbled them up in record time!

Of course, Ryan and Lilly had next to one another.
