Happy Birthday to Ryan

A little bit late on the posting but not late on the celebrating. Ryan's birthday was last month and we had a small celebration. Sorry it's taken me so long to get caught up with the posting. Anyway, we started out the morning with presents and breakfast.

Checking out the goods:

His birthday card:

One of his gifts was the brand new Lego board game - Minotaurus. How can you go wrong with Lego's in our house?
He also received a Jared Allen Vikings jersey. He really wanted one for Christmas, but Santa couldn't find one anywhere - after very extensive looking!

Building the new Lego game:

Waiting to play the game. It's very fun. It changes every time you play because you can move pieces on the board as part of your turn at times.

Later that night, for his dinner Ryan wanted to go to Ted's Hot Dogs. We met my parents and Kelly there. On they way, Ryan informed us he was not going to eat a hot dog he only wanted the french fries. Crazy! How do you go to a hot dog place and not eat one? They grill the hot dog right in front of you while you are waiting in line. Yummy!

Then my parents came over to our house to give Ryan his gift and play some games. Here, Ryan is very happy with one gift from Grandma & Grandpa - a gift card to Walmart. I think he had it spent in his mind already that night.

They also gave him a bottle of fresh squeezed orange juice from their trees. Earlier in the week, Ryan had a friend over and they discovered how yummy fresh oranges of our citrus tree are. So, Grandma thought this would make a great gift for him. As you can see by his smile, he liked it too!

We then played Apples To Apples for several hours.
