We had a ninja party for Ryan's Birthday.  Mom dressed up as a ninja master in her bathrobe. We played games that honed their ninja skills and then had cake and ice cream. It was a lot of fun. Aunt Tammy came over to help tend Adam while I did the party. It was so nice.

Making Ryan's Birthday Cake

Ryan had a ninja party so I made him a Kamodo dragon out of cupcakes that went over two small cakes for his birthday cake. I had to make it the night before.

Dad and Ryan had talked about building a tree house for years. One day I told Dan that his boy was growing up and that it was time to quit talking and start building. That next weekend they build the tree house.
