The birthday bash

I love how Tessa sticks her tongue out when she is so excited!

All the butterfly wings I made for the party





Tessa turns one on Wednesday. We had her party this morning, with the theme "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" from the book by Eric Carle. We chose this theme because we have called Tessa our little caterpillar since she was born with a fuzzy back and shoulders, which she didn't fall off til about 6 months, and she has a voracious appetite! We had a great time, with lots of family and friends, making little butterflies, wearing butterfly wings that I made, with headband antennae, reading the book, and watching the short animation of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I think everyone enjoyed themselves!
