Today is a special day-it's your BIRTHDAY!
~Your 31st Birthday~
Of course it would be VERY easy to get sad about NOT being able to celebrate such a day with you. But we don't like to sulk around, so we will try to do the exact opposite. I asked the kids what they would like to do for your birthday and this is the list they came up with...
~Send balloons up to Heaven {I'm so glad we started doing this tradition}
~Go to Daddy's favorite restaurant -I asked what restaurant and this was Hallie's reply:
Hallie: The peanut butter one!!!
Me: What is the peanut butter one?
Hallie: You know, the one where you eat the peanuts and throw the shells on the floor?!?
Me: {Laughing really hard} Ohhhhhh, you mean Texas Roadhouse?!?
Hallie: Ya, ya THAT place
~Have a dance party with Dad's favorite music {we like music and we LovE to dance}
~Sing Happy Birthday and eat cake
~Play Dad's favorite game {not quite sure what that was :/}
~and then... we can watch Daddy's video! {the life slide show played at Ryan's funeral- I can't wait to share it with all of you when I get to finishing his TEAM RYAN blog...}
How awesome are those kiddos?!?
They just planned a super fun day for ALL of us in YOUR honor. Of course they did start adding in a bunch of activities THEY wanted to do and we may just slip a few of those things in as well;) But no matter what, we are going to make YOUR special day as happy and memorable as possible.
