Ry's Blue Musical Party

Can't believe he's TWO!
Thank you to everybody for sharing in Ry's big day (and for all the cute gifts)! I think Ry really felt like he ventured into a Blues Clues musi-cal with all his friends. It also worked out to be a beautiful day and that meant we got to try out Shawn's new bbq.

Seeing the Blue pinata get whacked was a bit much for Ry in the end, not to mention slightly scary for the adults trying to keep kids from getting hit, falling off the edge of the deck or as you can see from the picture, (Shawn with chair) trying to keep the bat away from the windows.

We got to see Ry blow out his very first candle...all by himself...he was a total ham all day! The older kids even sang the BC version of happy bday...it goes like this:
Ry, happy Birthday to you
We'll have a great day too-ooh
Everybody play
Cuz its Ry's special day
Happy Birthday!
(Blow out the candle)
I have to write this out for you cuz I forgot to video the whole thing. Wait, you see that Lauren has her camera...alas, she forgot to open the lens cap...check out her Ry bday post...it's hysterical.

You couldn't ask for better group of girls to fawn all over the bday boy...(thx to Indika for some great photos).
And of course the whole Blues Clues experience wouldn't be complete without Blue's house...I Martha Stewart-ed an old box in the garage and voila...

Thanks again everybody!! It was lots o' fun! Check out more photos on Flickr.

ps...happy bday to Chloe, Bidane, Isabel & Don too...it's been an eventful month...glad we shared it with such good friends.
