Tanner turned nine!
I got him out of school early today.
We enjoyed lunch at Cici's. He is always asking to eat there.
Then I surprised him and took him to the mall.
He got to pick out a new deck for his skateboard.
I think he told me thank you at least 10 times before we left the mall.
He was so happy!

Then later that night we went and picked up Kyle. He was going to spend the night.
They played Mario Kart (another one of Tanner's presents) and then helped Brian set up some forts/hiding spots for the nerf party.
These boys stayed up really late and then were up at 6am.
They kept looking at the clock all morning wondering what time the other boys will be here so the war can start!
