The Birthday Eve

Tomorrow is Bill's birthday! I love birthdays (as long as it is not my own) and I even tried to get him to open his presents today. His parents and I got him a Nintendo DS system and a few games. He has never really been into the traditional video games, but likes the "puzzle" type of games. It is a nice small system that can be used anywhere, so hopefully he can play it lying in bed or on the couch. As long as it takes his mind off the reality for a minute or two. Ssshhh, don't say anything to him before tomorrow! We are going out to lunch tomorrow to celebrate!

We had a wonderful Christmas, however the day was long... for everyone. We spent a total of three hours on the freeway... in the rain... in traffic. Tyler had a blast and it was once again proven how insanely fortunate (and extremely spoiled) he remains. Christmas is an entirely new experience living it through the eyes of a child. We were all in a daze by the end of the evening, but I would not change one minute of it!
