The Real Birthday

On Tessa's birthday we went downtown for a picnic.  We took the new bike and met Ryan at a park.  We had fried chicken and watched the ducks swim near the waterfall.  This park is great because it has lots of paved trails, perfect for riding bicycles.  So after lunch, Tessa hopped on her bike and she rode (or rather I pushed) her around a bit.  Her balance on the bike is great but we're still working on the pedaling part. 
Perhaps this idea was better in theory than actuality because it was so unbelievably hot. Ryan went back to work and we played for a little while longer. 
A few weeks before the Minnie party, Tessa had announced that she wanted a Belle party.  I told her we would do that for her 5th birthday and thought she was good with that answer.  Well, the day after her Minnie party she woke up and asked if it was time for the Belle party.  Apparently I have passed on the art of dragging out birthday celebrations.  Sooooo... Gamma to the rescue.  For Wednesday family night, she arrived with cake, music and more presents and we had a Belle party.  This is one lucky little girl.
