Ryan turned 4 today (well, officially "yesterday" since it is now after midnight!) and rang it in just as he wanted (mostly).
When he woke up, he was greeted by gifts piled on the table (from Grandma Dar & Papa Thom; and some from us), a musical card, and a large balloon. He had some cake for breakfast... then after being a trooper and looking at some houses with us, got to pick where to go for lunch. He surprised us with saying "Applebee's... I want some mac and cheese at Applebee's". Ok.... can do! After polishing of his lunch of choice, he mustered up room to dig into his Applebee's birthday desert of choice... a small hot fudge sundae complete with whipped cream and a cherry on top. The rest of the day was filled with Ryan-approved activities.
All in all, he had a good birthday (as reported by him).
Tomorrow will be his birthday party... so as I type this, there is a cake in the oven that will get decorated in the morning, and picking up to do. Its gonna be a late night.
