Happy 12th Birthday, Ryan!

Eric, Allison, and Ryan celebrated together on November 13th,
which is Eric and Alli's birthday.  Ryan's was the 19th, and he was
great about spending his day working a fundraiser.  :-)

Ryan just found out he is going to be able to go on his first
missions trip!  He will be traveling with Mamaw and Papaw to
Antigua and Dominica for the Pilgrim Holiness Leadership Conference in
 February. First time to ride a plane, see  the ocean, and be out of the country. 
He is so excited, and we are thankful that he will have this experience.

By the time we were finished with the fundraiser, we were all
tired and without much of an appetite, so Ryan decided that a
trip to the mall to spend birthday cash, as well as a snack at
Auntie Anne's would be fine by him.  We finished out with
some apple pie and ice cream with Mamaw and Papaw before
the night was finished.  It's hard to believe that in 1 year we will
be parenting a teenager!  We love you, Ryan, and can't wait
to see what God has in store for your life!
