Growing up so fast

Today my baby boy turns 11 years old!  Time flies by way too fast these days and keeping up with the "surprise" tradition of 2011, Jeffrey and I threw Tyler a surprise party yesterday afternoon! 



We told him that we couldn't afford to have a party for him this year, because we had spent so much money on his birthday present....his response, "It's ok momma, I have my family to celebrate with", little did he know what we had in store for him.  When he walked in the door, everyone yelled surprise but he still didn't seem to understand what was happening. 

He asked me if this was all for him, presents and all....and when i said yes, he finally put a smile on his face.  He even stood on a chair and asked everyone to come close to him, and then thanked everyone for coming to our house to celebrate with him.  That's my boy, so grown up!

Jeffrey and I finally got him the flatscreen tv that we have been looking at for a while now.  I think it was his favorite present of the day; Although he racked up with a lot of goodies from the guests, and he would probably tell each of them that their gift was his favorite... ;)
