Cameron Turns 3!!!!

Saturday was Cameron's 3rd birthday party at Jupiter's Pizza. Jupiters is our favorite pizza but it also has a kid land with tons of games in the basement- it's the perfect place for a party.

Alaric, and Amara of course, tried Skee Ball!



Mara was so proud of the tickets she won!

Newest addition to Jupiters- Guitar Hero!!!

Laura actually one this cool ball in one of those machines with the claw that no one ever wins anything from - so proud of her!

The Ryle Family

Happy Birthday Cameron!

The fury of kids, parents, grandparents, and friends as everyone tries to get some cake.

Amara and Alaric back to the games- it seems like all I did was take pics of my kids- well, while all the others did such a nice job of staying with the group, eating nicely and staying in one place, my kids only wanted the games and never let me get a moment to hang out with parents, etc.

Here they are so excited to see their coin drop!

Cam opens TONS of gifts! Our family's tradition for birthdays is to give the child one dollar for each year ( $3), something small and new and something from our kids' own toy or book collection. The hope is for our kids to see that sometimes giving something of their own can be just as special as something new and also to always be thinking of others and what they might like.

The motorcyles were a huge hit!

Thanks for having us at your party, Cameron!

It was such a fun way to start our Saturday before Brian and I went to the Illini game!
