Can you all believe it??
Our Tate is ELEVEN years old!!
His birthday was August 3rd, and we had our usual birthday traditions for him.
A meal of his choice, dessert of his choice, and some gifts!
We have our birthday parties usually on Sundays so that everyone is free to join us!
This first picture says it ALL!
Tate is pure JOY and LOVES people SO well – especially his nephews and nieces!
Tate and River have a very fun friendship that I hope lasts forever.
Tate chose Japchae for his meal and that is what he got….and all he got!
His mama is slacking!!
They all loved it though and it filled all the bellies.
We enjoyed watching Tate open his gifts.
Everyone was spot on with the things Tate loves and gave him the gift of promised TIME.
Tate has already had his special promised date night with Blake and I, and his promised sleepover/weekend spent with Kay and her crew.
HE LOVED THESE GIFTS!
Of course there were things to open too.
For dessert Tate chose a crepe bar – crepes filled and topped with lots of yummy things!
It was a another great party!
Memories made and memories kept!!
Even though I have about half of the photos I wish I had, ha, ha!
Tate Owen, HOW do words express what you mean to us?
You have seriously made our lives so rich and full.
We are SO thankful that the Lord saw fit to bring you half way around the world to be our forever more!!
It was fun to celebrate you, Tator B!!
Happy, happy eleventh birthday!!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
