Celebrating Ryan's Birthday

 

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes for Ryan over the past couple of days. He said he had such a great day and felt very loved. Since his birthday fell on a work day, we had to do celebrate in the nooks and crannies of the day, and I thought we did a pretty great job!

            I made Ryan some clean eating donuts for breakfast. They weren’t Parlor Doughnuts, but they were pretty tasty!

            At lunch time, I surprised him with a peppermint latte delivery!

            When he came home from work, we headed out for our evening of fun. We went grocery shopping!

            (I told Ryan I was sorry we had to go grocery shopping as part of the birthday trip, and he reminded me that we had the oil changed in his car on our first date, so it’s really just how we roll. Ha! Truth!)

            After the grocery shopping, we went for dinner. It was so good. Ryan wanted to get some mushrooms for appetizers and then he got a burger and I got chicken lettuce wraps. They were absolutely delicious.

            Before we left, Ryan wanted to try to win a rubber duck, and he did! Apparently he has great skill on those claw machines.

            We grabbed some fresh brew on the way home, and then it was time to open cards and presents!

            We had saved all the birthday cards that came in the mail and he opened and read them to me. It was so fun to get to hear all the kind words from everyone. He had a few gifts, so he opened those.

            And then there’s this:

            Did Ryan pick out his own gift and buy it? Yes. Did I wrap it in baby shower paper because it’s all we had? Yes. Was there enough paper to cover the entire box? No. So classy.

            Yard tools!!!

            We wrapped up the evening with Butterfinger pie and an episode of Bull.

            Ryan, it was so fun celebrating you today! I love you with my whole heart!
