Ryan's 2nd Birthday Party

We were so lucky in that the one day we planned his party for, was the ONE day that it was actually sunny and beautiful outside! The day went very smoothly, and we were so excited to see everyone there to help us celebrate Ryan's birthday!

All the kids LOVED Ryan's sandbox that Nana and GrandDan got for him.


Little Miss Caylee was awake more than she was 2 weeks ago when we saw her last! She is such a sweetie!


Aubrey liked Ryan's slide, even though when she got to the bottom and landed in the dirt, she was a bit upset that there was dirt on her hands.


Ryan and Aubrey had a good time together, Ryan was trying to open the screen door so they can go inside to play, but he wasn't able to get it open.


We had about 30ish people come to the party, including the kids. It was a great day, glad we had a nice day outside because I was really wondering where all those people would fit in my house!



After every ate, we opened presents. Uncle John and Auntie Louise got him a matchbox cars set, and he REALLY wanted Daddy to open it right then!

Finally Daddy opened it for him, and then Ryan was no longer interested in the other presents.
Until... Ryan got a bubble mower from Ange and the boys. Then all he did was go around mowing the lawn. Ethan was really liking the bubble mower too, but Ryan wasn't at all interested in sharing.



Nana made Ryan a chocolate cake, his favorite! In the shape of a monkey!


She also made white cupcakes with little green vines, and then stuck candles in them that said, "Happy Birthday Ryan"


And Ryan remembered how we eat cupcakes from this past Easter when Uncle Jaron and Auntie Jessie taught him that you should stab them with your index finger to eat them.


We had a great day with great company, and I still can't believe 2 years has gone by so fast!
