Tate's 1st birthday party

There was a whole lot of planning for this day in our little one's life. The big party was at Victor Ashe Park in Knoxville at 2 pm on Sunday, October 4th. Travis, Tate, and myself have been to this park throughout Tate's first year to walk/run so this was a great place to have his bash. The day before the party I made the cupcakes with the help of my Mamaw. We made regular and mini size cupcakes. I think we actually made around 50 so this took a majority of the day. We also made the kids give aways....Caramel Apples...YUM! This was an experience. My Mamaw was in charge of melting the caramel. This was key because the caramel had to be the perfect temperature. I was in charge of the sprinkles after we applied the caramel. This was so fun! The day of the party there was a chilly cool breeze and the rain held off until we were cleaning up. Everyone actually had to wear their jackets to stay warm. There were around 40 people at the party so we had a big crowd. Tate had a lot of attention but I don't think he liked the part when we sang to him (see below...he he). The day was just like we imagined and I hope Tate knows how much everyone loves him.
