Ryan turns FIVE

My baby is FIVE! How is that possible?!?!? What a day we had, honoring him. We love you, little man!!

He started the day with a stack of 5 pancakes with candles on his birthday plate. He was so excited to blow out the candles again! :) Too bad he grabbed the candles and got some wax on his little fingers. No birthday boy should cry on his birthday!!! Poor guy. Then it was time for preschool (and more cupcakes!)

Chris and Papa B. picked Ryan up from preschool and the 3 boys went out to lunch on their way to the cabin. He was so excited to go to the cabin with the boys...not the girls! :) The girls came up after Hailey got out of school :) We played games and read books and just played until after supper when it was time for more presents! :) We celebrated both Ryan's birthday and Grandpa's birthday as well...and Ryan wanted the pattern that Ryan would one one, then Papa, then Ryan, then Papa. Love it! :) Here are a few pictures of Ryan opening some gifts (Hailey was glad to help! :) ).

Papa even got a few good laughs opening his gifts...especially when he got the toaster he thought was gone!! :)

One last present. The big one. We were so excited.....Here is how it went....

Chris : Hey buddy. What was it that you wanted for your birthday?
Ryan : A pretty blue gun.
Chris : What is this??! (he pulls out the gun Ryan wanted!)
Ryan : A PRETTY BLUE GUN!

He was so excited and happy. And wanted to know where and when Chris got it! :) It was very cute and he was ready to go hunting RIGHT THEN and THERE! :)

Happy Birthday little man. We all love you so much (and cannot believe you are FIVE already! :) )
