Ryan turned TWO on Saturday.
We’ve been talking to him about his birthday for a few weeks now and while I know he doesn’t completely understand what that means – he now understands that it means extra treats, presents, lots of attention & perhaps even a party.
We had a little party for Ryan on Friday night with some family and friends. He loves Mickey so we decided it was time to throw a Mickey party. We kept it simple with pizza, salad & some finger foods . . . a few Mickey games for the kids . . . lots of chatting by the adults . . . Mickey cupcakes . . . present opening & some freeze dance at the end.
Ryan’s absolute favorite thing in this world are candy and treats. He asks for it constantly. So as a party favor at Ryan’s party we did a treat bar.
Ryan’s been taking decent naps lately but the day of his party was just too exciting and he only slept for 1 hour. Needless to say Aunt Sam was able to keep him on the couch with some cuddles and the Lion King right before the party to prevent him from melting down yet again or from tearing the place apart! Despite his exhaustion, he was great at his party.
It was a fun night to celebrate Ryan!

Saturday was his actual birthday. He slept in till 8:30 [unheard of around here!] and I went in to his room and said, “Happy Birthday, Ryan!” He got a big smile and said . . . “party? me?” He was excited.
Saturday morning was like Christmas morning at our house. Ryan opened up our gift to him as well as some fabulous books from Grandma & Grandpa G. and then the boys played and played with Ryan’s new toys that he LOVES.
Ryan LOVES to cook at every little kitchen he can find. I didn’t want to buy the whole kitchen so when I found this little grill . . . I knew it’d be perfect for him. The boys are LOVING it and all of the accessories!
On Saturday morning we took the boys to Chuckee Cheese for some birthday fun. They each got a cup of 20 tokens and as soon as they were gone, we were on our way to In.n.Out for a little birthday lunch. Ryan always asks for their french fries but he was so exhausted that he didn’t eat one thing and only wanted to rest his head on my hand!
I think Ryan had a great birthday. More on what he’s up to coming soon!
