The Princess Party

We celebrated Tessa's third birthday today. Her birthday isn't until tomorrow but Sunday birthdays can be hard, with church in the middle of the day like we have it this year. So we opted for a Saturday celebration. The day didn't start out well, to be honest; William woke up with a stomach bug (thankfully shortlived) and it rained cats and dogs for Henry's soccer game (in which he scored two goals). But we geared up to celebrate Tessa's birthday in true princess style:

She received a Fisher Price castle from Grandma that she absolutely loves: The boys gave her a Cinderella doll that you can dress up (kind of like Polly Pockets):

You know you're in trouble when the birthday cake requires it's own box:

We sent cake over to our neighbors because there was just so much of it, but the smile on her face was well worth it.

Tessa also got a new tricycle (Disney princess-themed, of course). We got some cute video of her on it that I'll post soon. All in all, she had a nice birthday party.
