Happy Birthday Ryan!

My lil 'Turkey Baby'

turned 6 this year!!

I can't believe it!!

They weren't lying when they said it goes by

in the

'blink of an eye'!

I'm not ready! I'm not ready!

Stay little forever!!

To start the festivities,

we got invited to a Thanksgiving performance

and Turkey Lunch at school!

Ryan.....as an Indian

(if only they knew how close to the truth that was)

Her BFF...Joe Angel.

Inseparable.

If you ask me,

I think it's because he bears a

certain resemblance

and some

uncanny similarities

to her

1st BFF.....

and

favorite cousin,

Aiden!

You be the judge!!

An old pic......

but you see

my point!!

Our old house in California!!

Logan,

thrilled as all get out

to have this experience with her big sister.

Ryan,

not so much.

The birthday cake!

Grandma and Ryan went to pick out the cake!

She saw the fat diamond ring....

and had to have it!

Again......Logan is thrilled!!

Even Ryan couldn't fight it this time!




Birthday wishes!

I don't know why I didn't mention it.....

or take any pictures,

But we had a packed house!

The Goldsteins came for Birthday dinner along with the missionaries.

I lured them in with promises of yummy food and lots of cake!

I didn't mention they were my 'guinea pigs' for the night!

Four days before Thanksgiving

and I was practicing my 1st ever turkey...

I needed a crowd!

Raymond's birthday was the day after Ryan's

so we had

two birfday cakes

And more food than you could shake a stick at!

Grandma bought her a

princess dress.




And every princess needs her
jewels.

Princess Ryan.

She saw this jewelery at Walgreens of all places.

Months ago.

She wouldn't stop talking about them.

And even made Daddy take her back to show him.

Then she tried to 'hide' them.

(I don't know who teaches her this stuff)

Really.

Daddy came thru for his little girl

and it was the

'icing on the cake'!

As part of her birthday,

the next day,

she got to bring

cupcakes

and a special

'show 'n tell'.

She brought Claude!

Claude was a hit!
