In his own words, "I had a perfect Birthday". It started out with his favorite....
Donuts for breakfast.
Then he couldn't even wait to get dressed before he opened his presents.
He got a little sumo wrestler, a Japan keepsake, for sure!
The girls got tired of sharing their pillow pets, so they got him his own...he named him.....
"TIMMY"
And the big surprise he didn't know he wanted was his own set of golf clubs.
So we were supposed to go into Yokohama to ride the world's 2nd tallest ferris wheel for his birthday. However, as soon as he saw those clubs he declared, "Dad, let's go golfing instead". So here he is, donning his new "birthday soft clothes" (those who know Ryan best will appreciate his love for his athletic "soft" clothes), clubs over the shoulder, to hit the driving/putting range on base.
After his round of golf, and a game at the bowling alley, we picked up his friend Jefferson to join us for dinner at Chili's. Then Jefferson came back to the apt. with us for cake and ice cream.
My friend Kathy decorated his cake.....AMAZING, huh!
I am so lucky to have such good friends who make my kids' cakes!
Ryan.....you have overcome so much in the past year. Your confidence has grown by leaps and bounds, and I love to hear you comfort your sisters when they are nervous or anxious about something. We love your kind heart, the fact that you still love to snuggle, and your unfailing obedience to "the rules". We hope you never change, and wish another year of silly jokes, many sporting games, and lots of mac-n-cheese!
WE LOVE YOU!!!!
