Half Birthdays!

I still can't believe our boys share birthdays.  Sometimes I wonder if people will think I had Ryan on Clay's birthday on purpose (I didn't).  Half birthdays are such a fun and kind of silly excuse for a birthday cake!  In Clay's 3 year old mind, they are something to look forward to for a whole month, especially when your mom and dad count down to the day in the weeks before.  

I made the birthday hats out of paper and ribbon I had around the house.  For Clay's 6 month celebration, I made the same exact hat (see the Feb 2014 blog entry!).  So, I felt I had to made the same hat for Ryan's 6 month birthday since I love the boys exactly the same.  I didn't think Clay was going to want to wear such a funny looking hat.  Boy, was I wrong! Clay couldn't wait to get his hat on and sit down at the table for the "Happy half-Birthday" song.  We were at Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Leo's house for the celebration.  

Ryan was a bit spooked by the camera flash... and he felt like he should have gotten a piece of cake too.  Other than that, it was just another Sunday evening for Ryan, with his silly brother.
