Ryan turns 10

Ryan was born 8 days after Elle's 2nd birthday.  Back then it seemed pretty cool to have their birthdays close together.  Now its stressful!  Two kids to shop for (which, I might add is waaaay harder now that they've grown out of Barbies and Batman and Bob the Builder), two cakes to cook, two breakfasts in bed, two parties to plan - and carry out - all within 8 days of eachother!  So yes, it is a little stressful, but I love their excitement and anticipation and the happiness all my hard work brings.

Ryan's birthday was May 11th.  He has just joined a Basket Ball team so requested a basketball cake for his birthday.  We had it after school with his cousins and again at night with Paul & Nakita, Crystal, Sam & Preston and Ma.

On the weekend he had some friends sleep the night.  They had KFC, ice cream sundaes, lots of munchies, watch movies and played xbox until 5am!  After a pancake breakfast they headed out for fish and chips at the lake and mini golf with Jonathan.  That night he had another sleepover with his cousins.  Whoa, what a weekend!
