Tyler's Birthday Party... If It Can Even Be Called a Party!

Since our boys' birthdays are within 5 days of each other now, we decided to try a new tradition this year - on Tyler's birthday, we would have a big birthday party for both boys with Greg's family, and on Gavin's birthday, we would have a big party for both boys with my family. We thought it was a great idea because both families wouldn't have to come to two parties, and both boys would never feel left out on the other's birthday. Well, Greg started calling his family this past weekend to remind them of the party on Ty's birthday only to find out that nobody could come! I was really bummed at first just because I love to have family around and involved in our kids' lives, but it just wasn't going to happen. So with no other options, we decided to have a little party with our small family. And believe it or not, we had a great time! Gavin had a blast opening Tyler's presents, and Tyler was thrilled to be the center of attention and eat cake! :) So both boys had a great time in the end, and I don't think either one felt left out. Plus, both boys were in bed by 8 so I got some Christmas shopping done after that! I guess it wasn't as much of a loss as I thought it would be... :) Until next time! -Ash

After opening Ty's presents, Gavin then went on to play with them...

...while Tyler played with a roll of wrapping paper! :)

Gavin even blew out Ty's candle! Once again though, Ty could have cared less...

Mmm... yummy cake. I have never seen anybody devour a piece of cake so quickly!

I just had to put this picture in because I couldn't stop laughing at the frosting literally dripping off his face!
