Tate's Birthday Morning

He got his gift from us which was a 3DS and he is sooooo excited! It's killing him to wait while it charges! He got a donut with candles and is watching The Cat in the Hat (which was the other gift we got him). It's been a great morning so far and should be a great day! I love my 5 year old!!!
