Time to Party!

Yesterday, we celebrated Ryder's 1st birthday with family and friends. The sun was shining, their was a light breeze, and we were able to be outside in the back yard (woohoo!). Although, Ryder was a tad bit overwhelmed by all of the activity he had a great time. Many thanks to those dearest to us who shared in the celebration! We hope you had fun, too!

Hey, I'm ONE!!!

Opening presents with daddy... many thanks for all of the wonderful gifts!

As with most kids, Ryder was more interested
in the wrapping paper.

Picking up liter...he's good for that!

Time for cake!

He was not all that interested in
his little birthday cake. It was cute, though!

The tiny mess he did make did not
result in an immediate bath...a first for our kiddos!

Totally digging his new wheels!
Thanks, Mommy and Daddy!
