Happy Birthday Ryder!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYDER!!!

Today was Ryder's First Birthday. He is such a sweet little boy. My daughter, Kelsey, is his full-time nanny and I am the "other nanny". I step in when she has to leave for school a couple afternoons a week. We celebrated with him and his family this afternoon. He had 2 birthday outfits one for eating cake, and one for opening presents.
