Tyson's B-day Weekend

Grammy, Poppy, Aunt Jessie, Uncle Brian, Aunt Jean, Lexie, Kyra, and Cade all came up for the weekend to help Tyson celebrate his birthday. Aiden, as usual, snuggled right up to Poppy.
Tyson made sure to get in his loves, as well...
It wasn't too far into Saturday before Tyson was begging to open up his presents, so we let him go to town.
We got him a remote control monster truck...I think he liked it:)
Aiden has also become fairly fond of Uncle Brian... as a matter of fact...he barely left him alone the entire weekend! :)
Tyson wasted no time trying out his new toy...

Getting some more Poppy lovin!
It's become bit of a tradition to take the kids to Chuck E. Cheese when Jean and Brian come up, and this time was no exception. Tyson thought that would be a great time and chose that as his fun thing to do for his birthday with his cousins.
Playing a little air hockey with Cade.
Aiden loves this darn car! Every time we go there we come home with at least 5 pictures of him riding in it (for those who don't know...it snaps a picture of him driving the car and it pops out at the end of the ride).
Grammy gathered quite the crowd to help cheer her on at Deal or No Deal. Not so sure how successful she was, though! :)
Most of the games Aiden has no idea what he is supposed to do, but that certainly doesn't damper his excitement to play them. In fact, one of his favorite games was a boat race video game. He sat there for a good 15 minutes "driving" while it kept repeating through it's demo mode...talk about a cheap date! :)
Flyin high!
Cade and Brian trying their skills at Guitar Hero.
2 hours and 360 tokens (no, I am not even joking!) later we decided to head back home...
but not before we loitered for a few minutes outside the front door deciding who was going to go with who to do some quick shopping on the way back home!
I think Grammy is excited to go:) Notice Aiden beating the tar out of Brian with his newly won blow-up hammer! Cracks me up!!
Saturday after supper we enjoyed the beautiful evening outside watching the kids play.
If that doesn't look like trouble!!
We then came in to enjoy Tyson's Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake that he picked out. Since there are several family birthdays all around the same time, we re-lit the candles each time and sang Happy Birthday to each person who had a birthday or will be having a birthday in recent weeks...then each person got to blow out the candles.

Talk about some handsome boys!
Aiden helping out Big Bro!
Aiden was having a great time...he would clap and cheer like crazy after we sang Happy Birthday to each person! It was a good time!
Sunday morning we ran up to Sturgis to each get a Sturgis Rally shirt. Grammy and Poppy stayed home and made Tyson's requested biscuits and gravy, so it was all ready when we got back home. After the delicious meal, everyone loaded up and headed back for home.
The weekend went by way to fast as usual, but we all had so much fun. We can't wait til we're all back together again for some more shenanigans! Thanks again, you guys for coming up to share in Tyson's special day with him! It meant a lot!! Love ya!
