Ryan's birthday surprise

My 2nd son Ryan celebrated his way into a new decade yesterday on his birthday. His lovely wife, Emilia, planned a surprise party for him at our home. We hope that we surprised him just a little. At his birth, his father was the most active labor and delivery coach ever. His motivation - he did not want Ryan to be born on a "Friday the 13th!" Due to his diligence in cheering me on to push, Ryan made his arrival at 11:55 PM on January 12th. Thus, we celebrated with him yesterday and not today. I want him to know that many good and wonderful things come your way after "30" and that he will enjoy his next 30 years just as much.

Emilia baked and decorated an amazing and delicious cake.
Many friends and family came to surprise Ryan on his birthday.
