Tyler turns 6!!

So I have discovered that birthdays are not just a one day affair for our family. Nope they just keep happening. One party after another.

Tyler turned 6 on November 22nd!! Hooray for him!

But the parties began the Sunday before.

Tyler wanted a SpongeBob SquarePants party... So... he got one.

(Can I just say, for the record, that I am not a big fan of the talking yellow squishy that lives in a pineapple under the sea- but Tyler is- so there you have it.)

Every birthday seems to center around a GREAT cake and that is exactly what Tyler got!
(not sure why my settings changed to show the pictures on the left- better fix that)

Dan was so excited to be the decorator of this cake and I think he did a FABULOUS job!

Then it was onto the presents!

Grandma Jacobs made him this great hat! He loves it and wears it just about every day!

Grandma and Grandpa Stratford's gift didn't get a picture. (better work on that) BUT it too gets played every day! Thanks so much!

"Air Hockey is so AWESOME!!" quotes Tyler

Just thought these cute little cousins were looking cute. (psst.. these 2 are numbers 7 & 8 in the pack of boy cousins all under the age of 7- so fun!)

Then his real birthday came. We celebrated with just our little family. We had homemade pizza, per Tyler's request, and leftover cake and ice cream. Plus a few episodes of SpongeBob and x box completed the night.

Tyler's class also celebrated his b-day. He came home with this great card!
He then had a friend birthday party planned. But the evening it was to happen was the very evening of.... "THE BIG BLIZZARD!" So we rescheduled.

The next Tuesday, weather was looking good, so a few of his friends and cousins came on over for pizza and cupcakes. Dan then took them all to Chuck E Cheese for loads of game playing fun! Unfortunately, I did not get a single picture taken. But I promise they had fun!

Well, I think that wraps up the parties for Tyler.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!!
