Tyler's Birthday

We celebrated Tyler's Birthday this year with a low key celebration at home. All of his cousins were there and that was really excitement enough for Tyler. He got to pick out his own cake and eat lots and lots of icing. He even decorated himself with homemade signs that still are stuck on my wall. He was in his glory.

Jeff made the observation that before you have kids you listen to people talk about how fun birthdays and Chistmas are, but you really can't understand what they mean. (Kind of like the lack of sleep thing) But it is just such a wonderful thing to see the joy and excitement on your child's face. It's really great if they get that much joy out of little things, like the fleece sweatshirt Tyler got for his birthday or his favorite gift of the season, his "art supply case."
