HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESSA!

Well, yesterday our little girl turned 11 years old! Wow time flies! She is growing up so fast & is such a sweetheart & a joy to have around! I went and had lunch with her at school, and all her friends at the table sang "Happy Birthday" to her. It was really cute. Then after school & homework, the kids played outside for a little while before we went to pick up Neil from work & head to dinner. The birthday kid always gets to choose where we go out for dinner on their birthday. Tessa chose Olive Garden--Yum!. After dinner, we headed back home for birthday cake & presents. Tessa said she wanted a strawberry shortcake for her birthday. It was delicious! She had fun opening all the sweet little gifts from her brothers (pictures, notes, treats, etc.) They love her so much! And she got some things that she has been wanting (from grandparents & mom and dad). It was a great day & she had a lot of fun. We feel so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter & sister in our family! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESSA! :) XOXOXOXOX
