We had a wonderful birthday party for Tessa yesterday, it was soooo much fun! I went with a fish theme because she has become quite the little swimmer this year and she loves goldfish crackers. The weather was a little more extreme than expected, it was 90 something degrees before 10 o'clock in the morning and 100% humidity, but we got through it. We got out the kiddie pool and the slip n' slide and just let the kids have at it. Tessa had a great time and did a great job blowing out her candles and opening her presents. The funny thing about the gifts is that she thinks they belong to the person who gave them to her. For example, her friend Moses gave her an awesome top, and she kept saying it was his and would not play with it until I convinced her it was hers and it was okay.
Me and my birthday girl.
Simon and Carlee.

Andy bought a bunch of the "sponge in a capsul" things and put them in the pool for the kids.
Tessa's friends.
The cake....was inspired by a cupcake I saw, so I just changed it to a cake.
The cupcakes
I love this picture of Tessa blowing out her candles.
Porter was such a great big brother and sat by her the whole time making sure that things went well. He was also in charge of a fishing game that we did.
Tessa loves sunglasses, especially at the pool, she got two really cute pairs.
This was the face Tessa made the whole party, it was so funny, and just so her.
Thank you to everyone who was able to come and who helped out, we really appreciate your love and support. Tessa had a great time! And thank you to my friend Lauralee who made the super cute invite.
