Happy Birthday Tessa Marie

Tessa turned 3! Can you believe it? Not me, that's for sure. We had a fun winter break with the Hunter family again this winter, and like last year, we celebrated Tessa's birthday while we were gone. We had cupcakes and pizza for dinner.

And then the spoiling began. What a lucky girl!

Jordyn was a great helper, and always ready to smile for the camera. Tessa was thrilled, can't you tell?

Hallie was at the party!

And when everything was over it looked like we had another Christmas.

Tessa is growing up so fast. Here are the things I want to remember about Tessa right now:

*Tessa loves to play. She can play by herself for hours. She loves little people, and barbies, and babies, and stuffed animals, and coloring. She even plays with forks and spoons...they have names and they talk and everything.

*Tessa's favorite color is purple, and sometimes orange.

*Bedtime is NOT her favorite time of day, but she's always a good girl if she gets a story from Daddy and a song. Her favorite song is "I am a Child of God."

*She loves to sing. She is always asking me to help her sing a song or say a poem.

*Tessa loves milk, rice, apples, mac 'n cheese, noodles, and treats. She does not like potatoes, of any kind.

*So far, Tessa doesn't love the potty. Soon. Hopefully, very soon.

*Tessa loves that she is going to be a big sister. She is always talking to my belly and giving me hugs and kisses.
