ryan is 27 now...

yep 27.

we had a good time. well at least i did and i think ryan did.

we went out to the

(on monday, the day before his birthday)

ryan was sent a free dessert coupon and we had a gift card to go there. so really we got a pretty darn good deal. we had an appetizer. stuffed crab mushrooms. SOOO GOOOD!
(good thing i re-read this because it said "stuffed crap mushrooms")

then we went and visited some friends before heading home.

ryan's mom is delivering books for the real estate book this week. it takes her about 3 full days at least. so she and george weren't able to make it for tacos and cake on his birthday.  
we missed you guys!

i went to the dollar store and got these sweet signs...

holly was ever so kind to let me barrow her house to have this little shindig.

so like i said, we had tacos and then we had cake!

so after this, we went home and went on a very nice walk. it was really nice out. (finally!)

then... i had been waiting for about a month to give him this...

italian scriptures and his favorite chef cook book.

it was pretty fun.

next year will be better!
