Ryan's Birthday Update

Grandma and Grandpa came over Saturday night to watch the kids while we went to Sam's work holiday party, and they brought Ryan's birthday present. I'm not sure what he got him more excited - the kickstand or the "hornet" theme. Oh, he refuses to take the bow off, too. 
Ryan's school doesn't allow treats to be brought in for birthdays, but they do offer a Birthday Book Celebration - I send in a check and Ryan gets to pick a new book to be added to the library collection with his photo in the front. He picked this one, which is adorable (it has only two words in the whole book - "moo" and "baa").
All the December birthday kids got to spend the last half hour of the day in the library. They each received a cloth drawstring bag with a pencil, slap bracelet, bookmark, sticky hand, and a few hard candies. The kids all set to work decorating the bags and bracelets with Sharpies.
I know everyone is just SHOCKED that Ryan would draw a turtle, but he did spend a little more time on the coral and other marine environment details.

Seriously, is there anything more adorable than 6 year olds wearing gold paper crowns?
