Ryan's Birthday


Ryan is turning 15 today! It's been a little crazy, Austin and Melissa and girls left this morning and Savannah is leaving for the airport at 5:00. Britta and Savannah wanted to make Ryan's birthday special, so they decorated the house while he was at school. As soon as he opened the door, they started blowing noise makers. Surprise!! Happy Birthday!



They also got a pinata. He is so tall, it was a little tricky to get it up high enough that he could swing at it.


Ready, set, swing!


Harder this time! It doesn,t help that the girls keep moving the string up and down so he has no idea which direction to swing.


Making progress--he knocked a horn off!


Savanah's turn!


She's got a mighty swing, but not much is happening.


Britta's turn!


This girl has got a powerful swing!


BAM! And that's the end of the pinata!


That's a lot of Gushers!


Ryan was surprised to see some presents. He is getting his learner's permit for driving for his birthday and it has a hefty price tag. All the other kids had to wait until they were 15 1/2  and take the cheap driving class. Sometimes it pays to be the youngest because you get spoiled! (And maybe Mom and Dad aren't looking forward to driving him everywhere when Britta leaves home and want him to be able to drive himself as soon as possible!)



New shoes!


Church shoes!


Swimming shoes! You should have guessed by now that Ryan is growing like a weed! All of his shoes are getting too small.


Grandma Collins never forgets a birthday....


and she spoils the kids with $20 to spend on whatever they wish. Happy, Happy Birthday Ryan!
