Ryan’s Birthday! 2/23

1 sick day turned into 2…it’s hard to feel better when you have 2 kids and a husband is works everyday. But, today I’m feeling almost 100%. So, onto Ryan’s special day!

Ryan turned 4 almost a month ago. She was so excited about her big birthday and I was giddy too…I love seeing the excitement and happiness on their faces. Ryan was extra happy because her Grandma Donna and Grandpa Pyper were here for her birthday party. Since both sets of grandparents live in CA, it’s rare to have them around for birthdays and holidays. We love when they come to visit.

Along with cousins and grandparents here, we also had our neighbors over. Our friends the Burnham's also helped celebrate. L-R: Ryan, Madilyn, Eliza.

Everyone teases Ryan about what “scary” toy her daddy got her for such and such. A couple Christmases ago it was a monster guy thing. This birthday included these sharks and killer whale. Ryan has loved learning about animals and has taken to sharks (She loves Soul Surfer movie) so this present was very appropriate and gladly received.

To counter her “scary” toy she got a Disney princess wardrobe set that includes Disney princess dress up for: Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, Rapunzel, and Ariel. She loves it!

My sweet Ryan…totally exhausted after a long day of fun! Ryan is such a sweet little girl and so smart. She knows all her letters and the sound each makes (with exception of 3-4). She is a good big sister to Dani and great helper to mommy. She is still by far a Daddy’s girl. I love you so much Ryan!
