We made a cake to surprise Ryan last night. Lily was thrilled. She told Ryan "Daddy, we're going to clean the kitchen; you stay in here." She loved being "tricky" (her word of choice); she was certain that he could not hear or see what we were doing from one room away. As soon as I told the girls what we were doing in the kitchen while Ryan was sitting in the living room, Mia started saying "I want cake!" She even went over to Ryan and said "Daddy I want your cake." Mental note...keep secrets away from Mia for now. Here they are putting the finishing touches on the cake.
They loved making this for Daddy!
They were jumping up and down with excitement as Ryan came into the dining room; they couldn't wait to show him his surprise cake! Lily kept saying "We tricked you Daddy!"
Blowing out the candles.
We love Daddy!
On Sunday evening, we went over to Wayne's house for a joint celebration. In addition to honoring Ryan, Wayne and Dad, we wanted to say Happy 65th Birthday to my Dad. Wayne grilled a delicious beef tenderloin and corn for us; Mom brought a spinach salad and potato casserole while we brought the pineapple casserole. It was all delicious! Of course, the kids played great together. At the end of our meal, the younger girls (Molly, Lily and Mia) got together and formed a band. They couldn't wait to put on a show for us when we all finished. Mia played the guitar.
She also sang a little bit for us when Lily moved away from the mic.
Lily was happy playing the piano for everyone; she also danced while Mia sang.
After the show (which included singing Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day), we moved back to the table for Dad's birthday chocolate pies; yum! The little kids helped him blow out the candles.
The five grandkids with their Papa. They all love and adore him!

What a wonderful day! Happy father's day!
