Ryan Turns 5 {April 8}

We finished off a week of birthdays (Lincoln’s + Nate’s) by celebrating Ryan’s on a Friday. The kids were still out of school, and Nate and my Mom took Bennett and Eliza to run some errands in the morning, and it was fun to have some one-on-one time with Ryan on his birthday. We played some games and had lunch together. In the afternoon, we all went bowling. It was so fun to watch Ryan bouncing around so excited. He would run down and bowl, then crouch down to watch his ball and come running back. He loved it. We came home and had spaghetti for dinner (his favorite) with a soccer ball cake and ice cream.

I feel like I always think of Ryan being older than he is. It’s probably partly because he is so close to Bennett and they do a lot together, and partly because he is in school so much for his age. But he is so fun to have in our family and is usually going full-speed everywhere he goes (frequently injuring himself in the process), singing songs (real or made up), playing Legos, and drawing. We love having this cute boy in our family!
