<p>I think Tyler had a pretty nice birthday.  When I asked him last night, he said he did.  I know <em>I</em> certainly had a nice day with him!  Here is a quick outline of the day:</p>

<p>Sun night, 9-11 pm: wait till Ty was asleep, sneak presents downstairs and wrap.  decorate the cake and cupcakes that I baked on Friday</p>

<p>Mon morning: Kevin and Ty wait upstairs while I get everything arranged.  capture birthday surprise on video ("angry birds!!!!"); ty blows out candles and makes a wish ("I wish for a star wars sword") -- of course.  the one thing I <em>didn't</em> get him....;   Ty unwraps his presents: "this is what I was looking for!"</p>

<p>later in the day, dennis came by with a present for him</p>
