Aye Matey! It's My Birthday!

His dessert of choice: mint chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle cone!

Yup, you saw right! Those are boxers! He asked for them!

And what's a birthday without Lego's? For Tanner, it wouldn't be a birthday!

This was priceless. Jasmine had never had an ice cream cone before and had no idea how to keep that darn ice cream in her cone. I can't tell you how many times it would roll out onto the table and we would pick it up and put it back in her cone. This time however, she was walking around and it fell out on the floor. That was the end of that. She never did eat her cone.

Ah, yes. There it is. Don't worry, it went in the garbage and not her cone. Whew!

Tanner had a birthday like no other. He got to sleep in late, go to school late, eat an entire foot long Subway sandwich for lunch at school and pass out doughnuts to his class. He also got to go back to the eye doctor and have his eye checked for swelling and bleeding. He got to chose the dinner and dessert and open a stack of fun gifts and cool cards.

I can't even count how many times he thanked us for making his birthday perfect. He had a great day and even though he wasn't too excited about wearing a patch on his special day, he did it willingly and without complaining.

We love you Tanner. It is a joy to be your mother and I feel truly blessed.

Happy Birthday!
