December is a busy month for our family and the excitement begins with our oldest son, Ryan's, birthday on the 6th. This year he turned 10 years old and was happy to hit the double digits! Any of you who know Ryan can attest that his energy levels are a bit above normal on an average day! Add to that the excitement of his birthday and he could hardly fall asleep in anticipation!
This year, Ryan chose Chicken and Spinach Alfredo pizza for his birthday meal since as he put it, "it tasted so good when we had it for Timothy's birthday." So, we all enjoyed the pizza and they almost devoured it before I even took the picture!

| Yum! |

| The cake! |
I had these hockey player figures from a missionary friend which I used on the cake. They were actually field hockey players but once you stuck them in icing it wasn't that noticeable.

| Crazy faces from Ryan! |
He thought it was great and as you can see from his face, he was totally impressed!

One of the many things I love about our daughter, Rebekah, is the time and thought she puts in to making birthday cards for others. She takes the time to find out what they love and then creates a special card just for them. This year she made Ryan a sword card and it turned out very nice!

Now for presents!
This year Ryan received some Spy Gear binoculars from his brother and sister.

He received a battery operated driver set from Mom and Dad.
He had been wanting one of his own and this inexpensive set was small enough for his hands and came with lots of bits! He was a happy boy!
We love our Ryan and thank God for the ten years of life He has given us with him. He adds so much life, love, and laughs to our family. It's no wonder to me as his Momma why he was so difficult to bring into this world - too much personality in one small package! We are confident the Lord has a special plan for this guy!
