HAPPY 2011!
We spent New Years at our team mate’s house eating watermelon, grilling hamburgers, eating hand cranked ice cream with waffle cones that I made, lighting fire crackers, singing Christmas carols and singing happy birthday to Ryan who turned 11 years old. Another missionary family came in too, so the kids were just in heaven playing with all their friends. They all slept in a tent outside, which of course, they thought was the best ever.
Kids being kids...having fun.
Jeff serving us up some wonderful watermelon.
Samuel double fisting watermelon...just can't get enough.
Even Julia got in on the watermelon action.

Happy Birthday, Ryan! Can't believe he is 11 years old! They grow up super duper fast. Ryan requested ice cream for his birthday "cake". I made chocolate dipped in sprinkles waffle cone and we had hand cranked vanilla ice cream. It was very delicious!
Watching the fireworks.
Sparklers
10 kids in a tent for the night....equals not much sleep but a lot of fun!
Can't you just see these boys in a rock band someday. Ryan LOVED the guitar that he got for his birthday.

What a FUN time!! Tell Ryan that I remember his 1st & his 2nd New Year's Eve. I don't remember doing fireworks at his first (I guess HE was the fireworks:) But I remember the fireworks in Slovenia.
I want a home-made waffle cone & home-made ice cream for MY birthday!!
Thanks for sharing the pics & your day!
Hugs!

Remember little Ryan as a baby! Happy Bday Ryan, Happy New Year McKissicks!
11! Wow!!!! Seems like only 5 years ago when you brought the little cutie pie for a visit to our first apartment here. He is blessed to have you for a mom!
