I asked the kids to type a message to Rylan:

Logan:  I just love you so, so much.  I like when you wake me up nicely, not aggressively.

Presley:  Dear Ry-Bear, ever since you have been born I have felt that you were by my side through thick and thin, even though I get mad at you sometimes.  Since you are turning 12 I want to tell you to always have a good attitude and be your carefree self.  Also please be less of a moody teen, mom and dad need a break after Logan and I.  I love you soooo much and hope that being 12 will bring lots of good memories and joy.  Love you so much, Presley <3.

Harper (I typed for her):  "Love you Rylan and I hope you have the best birthday.  You're the best brother.  I like spending time with you and playing games with you.  You're a great big brother.  Mom, I bet if you asked all of us, we'd all say Rylan is the best brother"
