1st Birthday Recap

Here are some photos from Tess's birthday party that we had after Easter brunch. Has it already been two weeks? And is it possible that Finn's birthday is only three months away? Wow.

Tess loves her Mimi.

Finn looking at his "I Spy" card from Colleen and Jim.

Aunt Heather with the birthday girl.

Heather's bunny cake was as cute as it was delicious.

Big brother helping out.

I love his expression here.
Tess is like, "what's up?"

Apparently I was feeding her too slowly for
she took matters into her own hands.

I'm not a huge fan of mess/messy babies/messy face photos,
but it was *so* funny.

As was this. Thou shalt not let ice cream go to waste.

Tess got the hang of present-opening pretty quickly.

Love this photo of our little doll baby and "Aunt How".

Tess could hardly believe that Mama allowed Nana to
bring this pink princess-mobile into her home. Score!

Such FUN!

Good manners at an early age are important.
This includes reading cards before opening gifts.

Uh oh... When she inserts thumb, it's time to go home.
Thanks again to everyone who helped to make Tess's birthday SO special!

So cute! It looks like you all had so much fun. Totally can't believe she's one already.

P.S. - You can fight the princesses, but they always win. Be warned.

She really is so cute. I won't be totally convinced that she is real until I meet her. Just so you know.

That cake is super cute and she definitely seems be liking the princess ride. :) Laughed out loud at Finn and the ice cream.

A lot of the comments you made I could totally hear you saying as if you were right here and I do wish you were. Happy 1st bday Tess can't wait to see you all again! And don't worry about posting late, I have yet to post Grady's bday weekend pics and instead I'm catching up on the rest of my family/friend blogs!!
