Dynamite Comes in Small Packages, Too!!

Well, she made it.  Made it one year old.  Some how.  :D

And she is thriving.  In these pictures she really needs a haircut (which she still hates).

Everyone loves holding her and getting "kisses" from her. 

Miriam really wanted to make her a cake.  She started asking a week beforehand.  So I let her and Kristina have at it.  They left Tessa's unadorned, for obvious reasons. But the rest of us enjoyed this:

We laughed, we sang, she at cake then cuddled up in my arms and went to sleep. 

Here is to 15 or 20 more years!!!
