Happy Birthday Tessa! September 18, 2010

Tess didn't have much say in what her party was going to be this year. She really isn't allowed much of an opinion as to what she likes - Lily is pretty domineering in that respect, so it being fall, I thought an apple party would be fun!

We had the party at Granny & Papa's backyard in Logan. I decorated with red, lime green and brown.


Yep, the birthday girl gets "decorated" too!
We played a few apple games:
 


Pouted, just a little...


Read One Apple Up On Top;


(Still not happy it's not HER party....)
 Sang some apple songs and gave CDs to everyone to take on the road while we went to a real apple orchard!



Everyone loved picking apples and playing for a little while!

Umm, until she fell off the bottom of the slide...

When we got back, we made caramel apples - or we tried to anyway - the caramel overcooked a little and was SUPER thick...



We had apple pie filling-filled yellow cupcakes with cinnamon buttercream frosting and of course, apple juice!





From mommy & daddy, Tessa got a "real" baby that cries and laughs. She LOVES taking care of babies, so she immediately took to this new little one!

 

This party was so much fun! Just perfect for the "apple of our eye" - sorry - couldn't resist!

It's good to be back! I found a bunch of old posts I had written but never published because I was waiting for pictures! It's all old stuff, but I didn't want to just get rid of it!
