A Birthday Party of Four

The boys loved helping bake the cake and make makeshift decorations for Ryan's "surprise" birthday party. In fact, Cass, inheriting someone's perfectionist gene, was rather disappointed that our decorations weren't more elaborate. He said, "Mom, I'm just so upset. It doesn't look like how I imagined it in my head. We need to go get balloons! The kind that float in the air!" I assured him that Ryan would still love it and appreciate all the work we put into making his birthday special. I love how excited they were for Ryan to walk through the door.
