2 years ago Tate Kelton Shular came into this world and his mommy and daddy had no idea how much we would/could love such a thing. This year was special because we now know that Tate will have a sibling on his next birthday so this is his last one as an only child. Travis and I decided to celebrate on his actual birthday by taking him to the Ripley's Aquarium. It was so fun. Tate loved all the big fish and surprisingly was not scared in the long tunnel. Afterwards, we walked the Gatlinburg strip and had to get a yummy caramel apple with nuts. Of course...Tate had to take a few bits himself. We had a great time together just the three of us.
Yummy Caramel Apple...
We decided to have the party on Sunday October 3rd outside and of course it was the coldest day so far in October. It had been having beautiful weather and of course the day of Tate's party the high was 60!! This brought back memories of last year. And to make the day even better we went to go get some balloons for the party and they ended up blowing out of the back of the car but Auntie Abs saved the day and surprised us with some more. What great family we have!! We had the party at the pavilion in our neighborhood and all the kids played and played on the play ground. We brought the fire pit over since it was so cold and many people gathered around the fire to stay warm. Carolyn and I made sport cookie pops and blue cupcakes. So...cute! Tate was such a big boy. He did so good opening his presents and showing off his new toys. He is such a loved little boy and I know that because so many people came out in this cold...cold weather!!
Look at all the cuties that showed up to celebrate with Tate...
