My little boy is now my big boy as he has informed me. Tate is so much fun and brings so much happiness and laughter into our family. We are so happy to have him and had a great time celebrating his big day. Here is a run down of the day. I know there are a ton of pictures, but Grandma Hollist is on a mission and Grandma Cannon was out of town for work. So, we had to document the whole thing so the Grandma's could be apart of this big day.
The morning started off with pancakes, sausage and orange juice. This was of course Tate's request and his favorite breakfast.
You must start off the morning with candles. He kept reminding us that we had to put three candles on because he is three now. How could I forget.
Opening presents from mom and dad. Tate received a Lightning McQueen ball hopper. Now, he doesn't have to use the pink princess one at Aunt Heidi's House.
He also received a soccer ball so he can play soccer just like Dora.
And a Lite Brite.
And of course, the new bike that he has been asking for since Christmas. I wasn't sure that he would be able to pedal it, but the first time he took it outside he caught on right away.
Aunt Heidi and her family gave him this cool shirt, sand toys and a water gun shooter. Heidi explained to him that he could fill up with water and then get his mom all wet. Thanks, Heidi, what would we do without you.
Uncle Klark gave him his most treasured gift. He has told everyone since Christmas that Santa forgot to give him the Hungry, Hungry Hippo game. I am not sure what Santa was thinking. So, Uncle Klark stepped in and now Tate has his very own Hippo Game.
Opening his present from the Alcazar Clan, a new outfit, now called the drum pants and a motorcycle just like grandma's.
Grandma Hollist and Papa Joe gave him a Lightning McQueen fishing pole. Tate caught quite a few fish that night. He loves, loves, loves the fishing pole.
He also got a tackle box to go with it.
Getting ready for the pinata event by decorating his Mickey Mouse bag.
Now the fun begins. Tate taking some of the first attempts to break open the pinata.
Ashlyn giving it her best shot.
Zara, so serious. She really must want that candy.
Uncle Klark helping Tate hit the candy out of the pinata after Zara and Brooklyn broke it open.
All of the kids grabbing the candy as fast as they could.
The beautiful Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake. If you haven't watched the show, the cake probably doesn't make any sense, but this is what the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse looks like. Yes, I know, I am quite the cake decorator. 
Attempting to blow out his candles with a huge piece of candy in his mouth. It was pretty entertaining to watch.
An intense game of Hungry, Hungry Hippo. Even Klark had to get in on the action.
Going Fishing!
Out to catch more fish. He would not put the fishing pole down.
Going for a quick spin on the bike. The helmet adds a nice touch as well. Happy Birthday, Tate. You are such a good boy. Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate! He is one lucky little boy.
