Tessa is three!! She has been SO EXCITED for her birthday that for about a month she has been telling people her birthday is coming up. Whenever I ask her what she wants for her birthday all she says is a pink cupcake. I can handle that.
The day finally arrived and she was so excited that she came rushing into my room to wake me up. "Mom! It's my birthday! Get up, get up! Dad is already up!"
Everyone got a party hat and the boys wore theirs nearly the whole day.

Tessa insisted on opening presents before Daddy had to leave for work so that was the first thing we did.
Her favorite gift [by far!] was a Elsa doll from Grandma Sharp. She now sleeps with her and Rapunzel every night. She lovingly calls them "my girls". She loves that Elsa matches her favorite jammies. :)
She also received a couple new outfits.
Once the presents were opened we moved on to breakfast. Tessa loves pancakes and Aunt Sarah suggested we add sprinkles and food coloring to make them extra fun.
Tessa was very pleased.
The boys had fun playing with all the balloons.

Once everyone was ready for the day I let Tessa choose where she wanted to go. She chose the Dinosaur Museum.

A good portion of the time we spent in this room Cooper could be found staring at this fun Kinect structure.
Tessa loved pushing the buttons and watching the movies.

After lunch and naps Tessa helped me make her pink cupcakes.
She chose sweet and sour meatballs for dinner and of course we had pink cupcakes for dessert.
After dinner we had ice cream and pop corn while we watched Coco downstairs. We rarely rent movies for the kids (who needs to when we have Netflix and Hulu??) so they were ecstatic that we got one that they could watch too. Before even watching it they declared it their favorite movie. Haha.

They were quite enthralled the whole movie.
Somehow by the end of the movie, everyone ended up on my tiny couch.
I love that they love to snuggle with me. :)
(Jason had turned on the light for a better picture and it was too bright for Tessa.)
A few days later Tessa received a birthday card from G&G Williams in the mail.
She was quite excited about her "three monies".
I think it was a good birthday and she has officially become a "threenager". (She is definitely my most dramatic so this is going to be a fun year....)
