Our Chad is sixteen!
He was born one week before Christmas, and it was the sweetest time to have a newborn baby!
Chad’s birthday celebration this year has been very, very non-traditional – in a ‘random, last minute’ kind of way.
Sorry, Chad!!!
The day of Chad’s birthday, his lab, Sadie Jo, was scheduled to have surgery to be spay.
Since we had to all head to town to drop Sadie off, we decided to go to the Coop and pick out some treats – since it was Chad’s birthday and all!
That night I made chocolate cake mug cups and we ate them with ice cream while we watched the movie The Overcomer.
Chad has been wanting to watch that movie, so I was happy when that very day you were finally able to rent it on Amazon!
We also gave Chad a gift from all of us!
A tool belt and some tools!
He loved it and has been using it at work.
While my brother and mom were visiting we celebrated again!
Addie Mae made a chocolate peppermint cake.
Everyone raved and raved about how good it was!
We still have to have Chad’s meal of choice – and like any guy who grows an inch every day – he asked for sweet and sour meatballs over noodles!
No veggies necessary!
We might have to have another dessert too, don’t you think?
Chad Ryan – you are PURE JOY!!
Your quick wit mixed with your heart full of compassion for others makes you A GEM!
WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO BE YOUR MAMA.
SIXTEEN!!
Happy, happy birthday to our gentle giant, Chaddy!!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
