Tyler is 10!

This morning started with birthday donuts - a pine cone for Tyler. And Wayne picked up donuts to take for his school birthday treat as well. After school, Aubrey and I picked him up from school. In the car, she asked if I could see my "ten year-old."

For dinner, we went to Kobe Steakhouse per Tyler's request. We enjoyed our chef. Aubrey was enamored and complimented him several times.  Tyler appreciated his punny jokes.

Nervously anticipating the shrimp toss...

Score!

Aubrey getting ready...

And getting hit in the nose by the shrimp. :)

Then home to Facetime with the Showalters and open gifts from the Showalters, Grandpa Millers, and from us.

A happy day. Hard to believe he's double digits. 

Last week, Tyler was the All Star Student at school for "Putting an outstanding effort into all of his assignments. He is kind to everyone!" At conferences, his teacher showed us his excellent grades, but also praised his quiet leadership, diligence in his school work and kindness to everyone. 

He made this mama very proud of the young man he is and is becoming.
