Happy 2nd Birthday to Tate! 9/5/2014


I can't even believe that my first born is 2 years old! A few weeks before his big day, we were driving somewhere and in the backseat Mr. T let me know that he wanted a birthday party with birthday cake. I didn't know that he knew what either of those two things were, and that he actually did have a birthday coming. Well, I made the decision that we would only be doing birthday parties every couple of years, and since we celebrated his big number 1, this wasn't his year. BUT... we also do 4 gifts, something you want, something you need, something you'll wear, something you'll read. And since he didn't let it go I decided to chalk up his birthday party as his WANT. 

So, the big day came and he refused to take a NAP! So I was extremely worried that it was going to be a bad day since the party didn't start until 6. BUT... the following pictures will show that we had quite the opposite experience.


(This is the cake! It turned out so GREAT)
HE WAS SO STINKING CUTE! I can't even believe this!
(We had a digging site that was a hit! We hid fun toys in the sand and the kids spent the entire time in this spot)











(Seriously! This cake! Thanks to my friend Elaine Cadman)














(and then there's this kid! He was so sweet the whole evening!)
