Party Time!

Pizza time!

Even Teah ate pizza!

Happy birthday to you....

Not quite sure what to do with this cake.

"Aw, why not...who needs hands?"

" You lookin' at me?"

Yum-o.

Let me wash it down with this milk that I now get to drink.

Life is good.

I think I may be done now.

Presents galore.

I am loving babies these days so much that when I see one I point and say "ba-by"

What a great birthday! Thanks everybody for everything. I feel so loved.

So, as mentioned before, Teah's 1st birthday was the 18th. We had a party for her on the 19th. The theme was milk and cookies. All the kiddos wore their jammies and ate cookies and milk while watching holiday movies. Guess what the dad's watched? (Hint: Look at the TV.)

Milk and Cookie Bar complete with regular, chocolate, or strawberry milk. Yum.

Pics of Teah from newborn til now. Holy cow has this year gone by fast.

Here's a close up of our little Tee Tee.

Mommy was going to have us decorate cookies but decided on a gingerbread sticker craft instead. Lot less hassle....and mess.

Everybody got to go home with their choice of homemade pink or brown playdough (that I helped make) and cookie cutters.

The Actual BIG Day

It finally came....Teah's 1st birthday! We really did the big celebration the day after (stay tuned for pics) but she got to open a couple gifts on the actualy day. This gift was from us. Here she is waiting so patiently for Daddy to open the box.

Here I am being the great big sis and helping to teach her how to use it.

So focused.

This one was from Grandma and Grandpa. Again, I'm right there to help.

"Okay, if you insist. I'll open the whole thing myself."

This is where Teah took over.

Love my Polar Bear that shivers when I hug him. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Oh, and I love the wrapping paper too!

A Little Fishing Anyone?

Party Time

Finally, a birthday party (besides my own) that I could participate in. Beep beep! Look Out!

This slide was just a warm up. Check out what's next.

Wheeeeeeee!

Not quite the whole crew but most anyway. Happy birthday Mason!

Last Soccer Practice (For Now)

A little meeting with the couches....I mean coaches.

A little pre-game stretch.

Time for drills.

Not sure who is more worn out after practice...me or Daddy.

Santa Shots

So for the second year in a row, our friend Jay got to take me to see Santa. (Last year Mommy was in the hospital having Teah and this year she was busy doing who knows what.) So, if you're wondering why Teah isn't in any of the pics that's why. Maybe next year we'll finally get to take a family trip to see Mr. Claus.

Here I am telling Santa that I want to be a doctor and a drummer when I grow up.

So excited for Christmas!

Update

So, no we didn't find the camera. But, luckily Daddy had a backup at his office. So, for now it will have to do. Too many events in December not to have a camera.

Geography Lesson

Let me set the scene:

Mommy, Teah, and I were driving in the car having a little conversation about family and why they can't just come over anytime we want them to.

Me (Tessa): "Mommy, can we have Mimi and Pop Pop come over?"

Mommy:        "Honey, Mimi and Pop Pop live in Indiana, which is really far away. Remember when
                       we went to visit them on an airplane?"

Me:                "How about Grandma and Grandpa?"

Mommy:         "They live in Oregon, which is also really far. Where do we live?"

Me:                  "Corado" (Colorado)

Mommy:           "That's right. You, me, Teah, and Daddy all live in Colorado."

Me:                  (Very matter of factly) "No, not Daddy. Daddy's at work."

Where have we been????

If any of you are wondering where we are....don't worry, we're still here. However, we seemed to have misplaced the camera! I know what you are all are thinking.....how organized, right? We'll hopefully be back with some photos very shortly. Don't give up on us!
