Ryan had his birthday party and invited lots of his friends over to celebrate. This year Ryan wanted to hold the party at our house. We moved everything around to have as much space as possible in our living room and setup Madeline’s room as a play area and half of the living room as a play area. You can see
It ended up raining on the day of the party so the bouncy castle that our friends brought over wasn’t used which was a bummer.
For Ryan’s 3rd birthday mommy and daddy wanted to make a special cake. This year we went way over the top and made the cake ourselves – we made a Toby cake (from Thomas & Friends). This was not easy. The bottom layer is rice crispy treats to support the cake and it is double layers. The frosting was difficult but the real challenge was the fondant. Nobody told us that making fondant at home is very very difficult or else we wouldn’t have done it. In the end we were pretty happy with the results!!

At the start of the party Ryan invited people up to his room – I think he likes showing off his room. Once they all arrived in his room they decided to all jump on his bed. After a few minutes Ryan found some Easter eggs that he forgot to open from Easter and the kids loved it!!! They had so much fun eating and sharing treats from Easter!
Here are lots of photos from the party! Check it out!

Here are some videos:
Video #1 – the birthday cake presentation and song
Video #2 – Ella and Arianna were literally fighting over Ryan. In this clip you will see them both pulling Ryan in both directions saying “My Ryan – My Ella!” until Mika decides he’s had enough of that.
