Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Yesterday was Ryan's birthday, and I was glad it was on a Saturday so we could spend it with him this year. It was not so eventful (the days of going out for parties and late nights seem less appealing when you're chasing after a toddler all day!), but it was still nice. Kate and I gave him a card which Kate picked out and decorated. She promptly reclaimed it after daddy opened it, but who could blame her when she did such a great job choosing an oversized card with pop-up puppies on it? We had a relaxing day, which included a run followed by doughnuts. Kate got a sugary doughnut hole which, probably spurred on by her taste of whipped cream on Thanksgiving, she decided she really liked. Ryan had his choice of anything he wanted for dinner, homemade or from a restaurant, and he chose.....macaroni & cheese. So, that's what we had for dinner. Followed by a peanut butter cup brownie cake that Kate and I made. He may be a year older, but I'm not sure his culinary tastes have matured! :) We love him so much, macaroni & cheese and all, and are the luckiest girls in the world. Happy Birthday!!
