Ryan Reynolds celebrated his 48th birthday on Wednesday, October 23, and he made the most of living it up in NYC for the big day with his wife Blake Lively and his family in tow.
Ryan and Blake, 37, attended a showing of the hit Max Martin musical on Broadway, & Juliet, with their three older kids, nine-year-old James, eight-year-old Inez, and five-year-old Betty, with one-year-old baby Olin at home.
Blake surprised her husband with tickets to the show for his birthday, and the entire family visited the cast after the show was over to fawn over the performance and take pictures.

The cast even sang "Happy Birthday" to the actor.

One cute snap also featured Blake taking a photo of her husband at the show. She wore a black and white polka dot dress with a black blazer, while Ryan opted for tan cargo pants with a white muscle tee and a patterned sweater vest.
The Deadpool & Wolverine star reacted to the gift on his social media by penning: "I was expecting some sort of assault on decency or thinly veiled attack on Canada. Instead, I got one of the greatest gifts of my life in knowing, @robmcelhenney."
He sweetly continued: "He is as wonderful and singular as you'd imagine and I'm the luckiest guy on earth," and then quipped: "I'm also immediately reconfiguring Rob's birthday surprise for this April."
"Despite devoting considerable time and resources, I'm withdrawing from the original plan, which wasn't necessarily kidnapping Rob… I wouldn't even describe it as an 'abduction'. I'd call it an, 'involuntary, forced and rapid relocation system.' Now, it's going to have to be something kind and joyful. And less of a felony."
Speaking of Deadpool & Wolverine, his two collaborators for the MCU movie, Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy, also posted tributes, each featuring several photos that spanned their friendship, plus the making of the film.
Shawn wrote: "The movies are just the gravy. This brotherhood is the real gift. Happy birthday to a singular creative force, a truly good man, and the best buddy I could ever have."
Hugh, who celebrated his own 56th birthday just earlier this month, instead paid tribute to Ryan's mom Tammy Reynolds. "On this day we celebrate Tammy… for delivering Ryan," he wrote in his signature Ryan-takedown style.
