another year older & wiser too...

happy birthday to you! Today is Tanner's 11th birthday.




























We can't believe, let alone stand the fact that he is getting older. Where has the time gone?It really feels like yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital. I have never, EVER seen John drive as slow as he did the day we brought Tanner home from the hospital. It was just the beginning of all things wonderful in our world.

Tanner had a great day. It was a calmer birthday for him this year. His birthday, landing on a Sunday this year. He told us he woke up at 4 am, ready to open his presents. He went back to bed but was up & ready at 6 am. We told him it wasn't Christmas & that he needed to go back to bed -LOL! He was dying to open his presents so we let him tear into to his presents. He received the World Cup (Germany) soccer jersey that he has had his eye on.



























He was so thankful for everything he received. He must have said thank you at least 20 times. We made it a fun day at home. We had church from 9 am to noon & they sang to him in Primary. When we got home, John made a big breakfast for lunch (eggs, toast, bacon,). Then we watched a movie that Tanner had been wanting to see. He enjoyed phone calls & visits from friends and family. We ended the night with birthday dinner(his pick) & a double decker birthday cake made by Dad. Wishing Tanner a very happy birthday.
