Tessa Boo Turns 6!!

Where does the time go? Tessa seems to have grown up so fast. I don't know how she can possibly be six already. I feel like she should still be my tiny baby-although I am glad that phase of her life was a short one. 

Tess has been counting down the days for her big birthday! She made her own little countdown chart on her chore chart. This year she wanted a dinosaur birthday party. She planned the food and decorations. She is our very creative girl!
On Friday night, Tessa got her special birthday dinner out with Mommy and Daddy. She chose to go to Red Robin. For some reason, the thinks they have an awesome cheese pizza. When she took her first bite, she said, "They've outdone themselves!!" Her dinner was a hit!

Saturday was her special day and she requested pancakes for her special birthday breakfast. 

 She got to help decorate her dinosaur birthday cake. 

 Her dinosaur vision was to have dinosaur footprints around the house, fire balls falling from the sky, and a chocolate fountain to represent a volcano with flowing lava. So, that's just what we did.

 A new kite!

 A while back, Tessa asked Aunt Dee to make her a dinosaur night cap. Why, I have no idea. But, Aunt Dee came through and Tessa couldn't have been more thrilled! Now she has requested dinosaur mittens and a scarf.

 She asked for a princess alarm clock.

 She got some dinosaur skeleton toys and the kids wasted no time in becoming little paleontologists in the backyard. They spent a good couple of hours digging dinosaurs out of the sandbox. 

 It took her like 20 blows to get all 6 candles out.

 Don't report me to DCFS. My kids drink out of the hose....

 She said it was an awesome birthday and she is so happy to be 6! Her alarm clock woke her up this morning and then she woke Mommy up to ask if she could wear her new clothes. She has spent all day playing with her new toys and has loved every minute of it!

 We love you, Tessasaurus!!!!

Happy, Happy 6th Birthday!!
