Ryan's 33rd Birthday

I tried for several weeks to get an idea of what Ryan wanted to do for his birthday. I gave him all kinds of suggestions including Rodizio Grill or a movie. But he said he just wanted to "stay home and relax, have a quiet dinner and play games with the kids." 

 Things started out pretty well. The kids each made him a nice card and he got to open his gifts.

 Sandals

 Socks

A hat, and the kids even wrapped up some money from their piggy banks.

But then came dinner and the kids started whining, refused to eat their food, and started fighting with each other. Then came cleaning up and on and on... There wasn't much relaxing to be had. So we made up for it and went out to Rodizio's a few nights later and left the kids with a babysitter.   

I think Ryan looks super handsome in his cake pictures. Thirty-three looks really good on him. We had his family over that Sunday for a barbecue and cake and  ice cream.

Happy Birthday, Ryan! I love you.
