Princess Tessa's Third Birthday

Tessa had a birthday party this past weekend. It was a labour of love all around.

A friend of ours who is an art and photography teacher taught a couple of arts and crafts projects to Tessa's cute guests. I ordered some felt crowns from her, and the children decorated them. Plus, she taught them an art lesson based on a very cute book called Emily's Balloon. The kids used watercolours and crayons to draw a yellow balloon in the sky. Here are their finished masterpieces:




The birthday party was a success. We had it a new community centre twenty minutes from our house. It was the first time we had a function there, so we were really happy. The room we rented out was connected to a semi-shaded playground which the kids were instantly attracted to. So, the kids left happy with full stomachs, tons of playtime, projects to be proud of, and these Mama-made chocolate princess wands.

Of course, Princess Tessa enjoyed her third Royal Bash, and she was just proud to be



THREE!

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!

Despite the craziness of my everyday, I am so thankful for this life.
