I have a friend that was born on Christmas day and I have heard her horror stories about not getting parties or getting ornaments for presents. I told Brian a long ago that I never wanted to have a child born on Christmas Day. When we got our referral for Tate we were told that he was born on December 24. Christmas Eve. Well, I guess that is not Christmas Day! God makes me laugh.:)
So, in order to try and separate his birthday from Christmas a little bit, we had Tate's first Birthday Party today!
The picture for the invites! Seriously, could he be any cuter?
The cupcakes!
Green Eggs and Ham
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
Cat in the Hat
Thing 1 and Thing 2
Luckily we got the picture before the cotton candy melted!
Ready to party!
The Birthday Boy!
Aunt Kelli started things off with "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!"
Tate and his buds Drew and Hudson. I have a feeling these three are going to get into a lot of trouble together!:)
Presents!
He liked the cake!
He really liked the cake!
Ok, he LOVED it!
We can't believe that we almost have a one year old in this house! What a fun way to celebrate an amazing boy with wonderful family and friends!
Happy Early Birthday Tate!
We love you!

Happy Birthday to Tate!!! I totally know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed to write about the trip. I was the same way. There is so much to process and I know for me I just never felt like words would do the experience justice. But in the end it felt good to blog about it.
Welcome Home!!!
How great! You guys did a wonderful job. The picture of Tate on the table is hilarious. He's very cute.
