Birthday Girl!

Tessa turns 5 this week! She is such a sweet girl. John calls her the "mini-Joelle" because she is just like me. If someone leaves a cupboard door open or something out of place it will drive her nuts ... just like me. She likes things just so ... just like me. Her preschool teacher told me that she loves the days when Tessa is there because she will make sure all the toys are in the proper bins. She is my little helper that will stick by my side until a project is done even when all the other sisters are long gone. Tessa is a smarty pants too! She has been reading for a long time and is an expert colorer - not a mark outside the lines ever! For her birthday she wanted hot dogs on the grill and chocolate cake. Grandma Jeane made her famous Coke Cake and even put money in it. Jack helped out with the unwrapping and Grace helped out with the big words on the birthday cards. Happy Birthday Tessa!
