Tessa had her long awaited birthday in September. She wanted to have a party and a pinata. (It was her first.) So we invited all the neighbors and played a few quick games in the backyard. Here is the group singing to her before she blows out a candle. It was a fun birthday for our social gal. :)
A few more fun pics of Tessa..when she says, "Mom, take a picture of me and Leisel." This one shows a owie on the bridge of her nose where she crashed doing some "Ninja move" or Tessa craziness. She often moves faster than her best judgement should allow. It is a daily household noise to hear Tessa cry out after crashing into something or falling from something.
My sister caught this photo of Tessa with cousins at the cabin. She is in motion falling into the pile of pillows...always ready for fun.
And Tessa loves glitz and glamour.
Despite all her Type 1 and 3ness, (energy profiling) Tessa can be a very sweet gal. It is really wonderful to see her depth and good desires shine through as she is growing up.
She keeps us on our toes and keeps things alive! We are grateful for the dynamics she adds to our lives.
I caught this picture as she and Lance share a package of smarties at the end of a fun day.
Each year is sure to be a treat with Tessa.
