Tyler's Family Birthday

We managed to find some time on Sunday, August 22nd, to host some family members to celebrate Tyler's 11th birthday party. Tara made tacos for dinner, and we followed that up be eating our choice of two cakes that Tyler decorated himself (along with ice cream, of course). The final big hurrah of the day was when Tyler opened up the gifts that everyone brought for him. Tara, the kids, and I had already given Tyler our gifts (a bunch of fishing items earlier this summer, and a movie and a few other small items on his actual birthday) this year, so he didn't have as many to open as usual. Despite this fact, he had a great day. Thanks to all of those who were there to make it possible!

	This cake was Tyler's tribute to his new favorite show - "Rivermonsters". Fish on!
