Party time!

Ryan's 1st birthday -- May 29.
Most of the family was there....but of course, my dad was missing (he was on his way to Alaska)! We enjoyed dinner together and then it was cake time!

Ryan checking out his birthday cake and candle

Joshua and I showing him how to blow it out. He wasn't quite sure about it.

So Joshua blew it out -- he was happy to help! :-)

"Now what?" Ryan thinks.

Then we let him go at his cake.
It was a new recipe I tried since he had been so particular about food.
I didn't know if he would like it....

but he did! He LOVED it! Hooray!

Diggin' in

He ate nearly half of the cake! Then we took a few pictures with cousin Joel (one month old) in their matching outfits!

The mamas and the babies
Happy 1st Birthday Ryan!
