Rylan is Two!

Because Rylan's birthday falls on or near Easter weekend, we will have the privilege each year to celebrate multiple times with all of our friends and family. Our first celebration this year was on Easter Sunday, March 31st. After church, we joined all the family at Papacita's in Longview for Easter lunch and Rylan's family birthday party. There were 28 of us total, and the restaurant always takes great care of us with a nice, private room upstairs thanks to my mother-in-law's service to them over the last 20+ years.

 

Rylan's 2nd Birthday Cake

 

Being loved on by his sister at all times...

 

Opening gifts

 

The hit of the day...Spiderman 4 wheeler

 

We filled our tummies with yummy Mexican food and then begin the birthday celebration. Rylan enjoyed opening all of the gifts. He received so many wonderful items, but the hit was definitely the Spiderman 4-wheeler from Grandad Killian. He rode it around and around the long table for quite a while. Thank goodness it was the last gift he opened, or we might have lost his attention earlier. We thank all of our family for celebrating Rylan's 2nd birthday with us!

The second celebration was on Saturday, April 6th at Pump It Up with all of our friends. Rylan loved Pump It Up last year when we had Kaelyn's birthday party there, but this year he loved it even more.

Rylan,
We are so thankful for the precious two-year old that you are! You are such a sweet boy who loves his sister unconditionally, even when she's taking your toys from you. We love your enthusiasm for sports and love that you are becoming independent and asserting yourself in all you do. Your vocabulary continues to amaze us weekly as you learn new things at school. We love you with all of our hearts and are so thankful you are our son!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
