For my mom's birthday we ventured out to a local waterfall. The weather was beautiful and the trail easy enough for even Tessa to walk. We enjoyed watching her make her way up the trail as much as we enjoyed the actual waterfall. Tessa would dash ahead on level spots and then carefully climb up the stone steps. She liked to hold hands with Daddy when going down the steps. So sweet to see her reach up her little hand and wrap it around his finger.
After our excursion, we had a very nice steak dinner with homemade chocolate pie for dessert. Tessa was one tired tike after that big day but she was sweet as always. My parents marvel at how easy going she is, aparently I was much fussier when tired.The birthday celebration continued on Sunday when we visited our favorite Mexcian restaurant. Our waitress was so sweet, she even let Tessa help her make the tortillas. In this picture Tessa is showing us where those tortillas belong.
One of Gamma's presents was a toddler sized slide. Tessa loves it and has mastered the steps which look like a miniature rockclimbing wall. Sliding is our new favorite thing to do. We loved celebrating with you Gamma. Happy Birthday!
He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead... Matthew 28: 6-7
After church we gathered at Gamma & Gampa's house for an afternoon of family, food and fun. It was so entertaining to watch Tessa hunt Easter eggs in their beautiful yard. We could not have asked for more perfect weather.
Little Bunny Foo Foo is Tessa's favorite Easter song. Usually she does the hand motions that go along with the song - including smacking herself in the head. In this video she just does a sweet little dance with Granny. Cute little bunny!
