Happy Birthday Ryan

Well, this year, I decided to go with the flow, and invite the whole gang to Ryan's birthday party. Almost everyone from playgroup came (totaling 12 kids not including mine) plus 8 kids from Ryan's school, plus 5 more friends. Whew! We had the party at our neighborhood playground and pavilion, which was really great and convenient. The best part of the party was that Magic Mike came to do a show for us. Ryan is a HUGE fan of Magic Mike. He could be a stalker if he was able to drive a car. Magic Mike is a local magician and entertainer. He does performances at the library periodically, and we never miss a show. He also works at several local restaurants during the week, and we often catch him there as well. Magic Mike does a great job entertaining the kids as well as the grownups, and as you can see from the expression on Ryan's face, he belly laughed the ENTIRE time. He had a great time at the party. Unfortunately, the wind was out of control, and we were not able to keep the candles lit for his cake, so once again, no picture of Ryan blowing candles out. He didn't really care about that though- just the part where he got to eat the cake!
