Ryan's B-day

We had a fun time celebrating Ryan's b-day.  After Roo came home we let Ryan dig into his cake.  It went over much better than his 10 month birthday celebration.  Then we went to the mall and let him play on the playground.

His birthday loot.  The toys were picked out by Roo and the book was from my Mom

Us before the cake.  Even though I look old enough in this picture to be the mother of a 20 year old...he's only 1.  The BX didn't have any party hats...so I went to plan B and got a sombrero.

His cake from Wal-Mart

It was kind-of tricky doing this on the floor...definitely messy!

Yummy cake!

Party time

Using a flag instead of a candle.  I didn't want to spend money on a #1 candle that we'd only use once.  Am I genius or what?

Such a big boy!

The aftermath

Reading his card from Nana and Papa

Loves his new toys!!

Playing on the playground.  He LOVED it.  There were a couple of bigger kids that knocked him over a few times.  We're trying to teach him to hit back.

He loves pushing the stroller
