Jonah's 4th Birthday Party

Jonah Bird has turned 4 years old and Andrew and I were lucky enough to make it onto the guest list!!!  Unfortunately, I have come down with a nasty cold so have been in bed the whole weekend.  But my dear husband represented us both on this special occasion...

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Today is Ryan Mitchell's Birthday and we booked them for the evening, bringing with us the greatest gift one could ask for!!!  In-n-out for dinner!!!  Even Calista got her own burger, and we made Ryan try out the animal fries!  We really enjoy hanging out with them and are so glad they came to Seminary!

The Big 26 for Andrew!

Happy Birthday Andrew!!!

This is how the day unfolded!

First, while he's still sleeping (this is enough of a challenge!) I get all his prezzies together... Make coffee and then enter the room singing Happy Birthday!!!

Brian Biedebach's Birthday!

We were so excited to hear that the Biedebach's were coming to town! Brian recently had his 40th Birthday and they had an open house after church to celebrate with all their friends. This was the first time I got to meet them, but Andrew has known them from their South Africa days... Happy birthday Brian! Naturally, there were an abundance of South Africans at this party...

My Official Birthday Dinner

Another family tradition in the Ramsden/Dedekind home was a choice dinner for the Birthday girl or boy! Usually this was home cooked, but Andrew was not feeling brave enough to take on the kitchen and treated me to eating out instead!

The Big 24!

Can't believe another year has flown by! I think this was my first birthday away from home, and Andrew did a great job of making it special! He held up longstanding Birthday traditions from the Ramsden Household which was really fun! I was woken to the sweetest rendition of "Happy Birthday" and a good cup of coffee, followed by an assortment of prezzies!
