Tanner's 5th birthday!

 Mr. Tan Man turned 5! We had an awesome friend party with a BYU football theme.  He is completely obsessed with BYU football right now. He is constantly running around the living room playing both the offensive and defensive side.  We played a bunch of games, had some ice cream and cupcakes (he only ate the ice cream), and then opened presents.  The kids were so excited for his party! I'm not sure what was better--- the anticipation for the party or the party itself.  However, I do know that there were lots of happy faces and Tanner felt special on his birthday.

Tanner is a pretty awesome kid. He's super happy and loves to talk. He loves all sports but reminds me often that he's a great soccer player because he practices really hard like Stephen Curry (Golden State BBALL player).  He loves to play games--- ALOT of games and is very imaginative.  One of my favorite things is when I'm in the kitchen cooking--watching him play by himself in the living room having full on conversations with himself while pretending to be in a different world. He is fun and loves everyone.  His preschool teachers tell me he is super smart and is the most popular kid in the class.  He's a great friend to everyone around him.  He's well behaved and very confident.  I truly love this kid. He makes our lives so much happier. He brings so much joy, strength and character into our family.  He also tells me he's a "wolfie" and because wolfs don't get cold-- he never gets cold either.  His preferred outfit is shorts and a short sleeved shirt--even if it's snowing outside.  He's a night owl and will talk, and talk, and talk until he finally falls asleep.  We are so blessed to have Tanner in our family. He makes the world a happier, friendlier and more exciting world to live in.
