Ryan's 9th Birthday

We never do big parties for our kids on all their birthday's. Just on the big ones,
you know, one, five , eight, ten, twelve, sixteen, ect... Ryan thought he had to
have a big friend party, even told all these kids at school about it. Liz warned me
after she had picked him up at school telling her kids all about it. I quickly
threw together a "friends" party. Now of course they are mostly my friends
but they do have kids around his age who are also his friends, just not the ones
at school. It turned out we were both happy and he got his party.

make him. He loved it!

He saw this cake and had to have it.
