Tyler's Birthday

The Birthday Shindig:

Tyler's 28th birthday was last Monday. Addilyn made him a beautiful card and presented it to him at breakfast (which, of course, was Count Chocula).

We had a birthday shindig/dinner in the evening (since he still had to go to class and such). Here we are with the family and our ever-present neighbors.

Addilyn and Samuel enjoying their burgers.
Asher got a burger too.
Mark diving into his burger. Way to commit!
Tyler got some pretty cool gifts too (although very few on his actual birthday). Here he's showing off his prized new commentaries (that's a weird sentence; then again, he's a weird guy).
We topped off the evening with dessert and a rip-roaring game (or two) of Carcasonne. It's a game Mark and Lisa recently introduced us to that we've gotten pretty involved in/addicted to. So far we've played at least once a week.
The Food:
Here was the birthday meal spread (minus some baked beans which were still on the stove). Notice it included burgers (which meant that Tyler got to play with the grill), fried eggs for said burgers, bacon, Pepsi and rice pudding...all favorites of Tyler.
Tyler's burger (one bite in). It will kill you (eventually) but wow is it good!

I finally tried my hand at tiramisu (which Tyler has actually been requesting for years). It was good and Tyler managed to finish off the whole thing within 24 hours (with the help of many, many people).
