Happy Birthday Ryan!!

Well it is official...I am the mother of an 11 year old.  Crazy how time flies.  It just doesn't seem possible that Ryan is already 11 years old.  5 more years and he will be driving.  7 more years and he will planning what college he will head off to. 
Yesterday we did our annual pizza with the grandparents.  Everyone met at Fazzaris for pizza and pasta.  Ryan had his favorite, rigatoni.  Today he took cupcakes to school and then had dinner at the fire department.  Another one of Ryan's favorites was served, fettuccine alfredo.  Tomorrow he gets to purchase his new Halo game, which he is so excited about.  He also gets to go to lunch with his grandparents and birthday shopping:)  Hopefully we will find sometime soon to have a couple of his buddies over for the night and some Halo playing.
Check out the cupcakes Ryan picked out.  They look like sliders, but they really are cupcakes.  I am very proud of how these turned out.  So was Ryan!!!

 Today I am thankful for Ryan.  He is turning into an amazing young man.  A young man any mom would be proud to call her own.
