Happy Happy Birthday Tave!

My baby is ONE.
I just can't get over it. This year has absolutely flown by.
Tave is such a light in our lives and brings so much joy to our family.

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!


We had a relaxing and fun day. West and I started the day off right for the Tave-man by singing to him..he didn't quite know what to think. Then we had a fun playdate with Jocelyn. The boys love when kiddos come over to play.
West loved telling Tave Happy Birthday over and over and then he would sing it to him. SO cute.
During naptime Tave wanted to hang out with me instead of sleep. So I gave him a haircut. New year, new do. It works. ;)
When Jeff got home we wanted to do something special so we picked up pizza (Tave's favorite meal) and headed to the park. The boys loved the park and being there with Daddy made it even more special.

We picked up a couple Cupcake Chic cupcakes (to die for) and then headed home to sing again and have Tave blow out his candles. West was an awesome big bro and 'helped' a little.
Tave was NOT into the cupcake. He wanted NOTHING to do with it until Weston put some on his finger and put it in Tave's mouth. It's amazing the influence of a sibling even at this age. After that little lick, Tave was in love. (darn, I was hoping to eat it all by myself. hehe)

It was the perfect day to celebrate our sweet little man.

Dear Tave,
We love you.
You have been with us for an entire year now, and what a year it has been! We have watched you learn and grow in so many amazing ways. You were sent to our family for a reason and each day has been a blessing with you in our lives. You and Weston love each other so much and constantly show Daddy and I how to be better parents and people. We love you and are so glad Heavenly Father sent you to our family. You make our family better just by being in it!
You have made this year our best yet.
We are so excited for all the years ahead.

Happy Happy Birthday!
Love,
Mom, Dad, & West
