Ryan turned 12 on December 11th!! What a wonderful birthday he had. He has wanted a mountain bike with gears so he can keep up with his dad and brother when they go up in the mountains. He got one!!! He also got some games he has wanted and some new DC shoes. For Ryan's birthday, he, like Jake, wanted his favorite breakfast, Crepes!!! After, we went and saw the movie, "Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader". Ryan debated all week where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner. It was between Texas Roadhouse and Chuck-A-Rama. Everyday that week he would "feel"like one or the other, and he said he would decide on his birthday what he "felt" like eating that day. Chuck-A-Rama won! So, we had dinner there after the movie. We were then going to go to Thanksgiving Point to take a hayride to see the lights and hot chocolate at the deli, but Jake started not feeling well, so we did that the next Saturday.One of the things Ryan was looking forward to the most about being 12 was receiving the Aaronic Priesthood. On Sunday December 12, 2010, Ryan was ordained a Deacon by his dad. Another thing he had been talking about for months was being able to go to the temple. He was finally 12 and we took him on Saturday, December 18, 2010, to the Oquirrh Temple for the first time. It was such a wonderful day being in the temple with our little family (minus Josh). After, we went home and changed and went to Thanksgiving Point to see the lights and then ate dinner there. It was a wonderful day!!
Ryan is such a great young man! He is always happy and is so much fun to be around. He is the comedian in our family and is amazing at imitating people. We always get a good laugh when Ryan is around!
