Ryan's Birthday Recap/Beach Trip

Ryan's 2 year photo with Tubby Teddy


We enjoyed a wonderful weekend of celebrations for Ryan's 2nd birthday.

It began with a play group party on Friday morning. Most of Ryan's closest friends were able to come, and we had a wonderful time just playing and enjoying one of Ryan's favorite meals: pasta with veggies, and lots of fruit. And, of course, we had Elmo cupcakes for dessert!

The bubbles were a big hit!

Friday afternoon, we left for the beach to spend the rest of the weekend celebrating with Mason's parents and my brother & sister-in-law. Ryan's favorite parts were riding on Grandaddy's boat and, of course, eating his much-anticipated Elmo cake! Since he was surrounded by six of his absolute favorite people all weekend, I think it's safe to say that Ryan had an awesome 2nd birthday!

Happy boy on Grandaddy's boat

We stopped at a sandbar and Ryan was not excited about touching the sand


The rest of us loved it, though!! See those cute little pregnant bellies? :-)


B. came to Ryan's rescue & he was happy as could be in her arms

Ryan was very cranky during our visit to Fort Macon, but he did get interested in the cannon (especially since it had water inside!)


No reason to be cranky when you have Elmo cake!!


He loved his new Thomas duplos train set! (still does as a matter of fact)


Hanging out on the beach - he was scared of the waves, but once we distracted him with sea shells, Sophie (the dog) and Daddy hugs, he was quite happy
