Tessa's 5th Birthday.

I know, you're thinking, wasn't that a while ago? Yes is was. April to be exact. You know how you wait till you have like 3 or 4 rolls of film before you send it in and you totally forget what is on them?
Well, I forgot what was on them.
Tessa had a "build a bear" party, but in true Tessa form she didn't build a bear, but a "monkey" who she named Roxy. No one can say that she isn't original. Or boring. Yep, that's Tessa with a "monkey on her back" - I mean- "monkey on her head".
One of the pictures is all her birthday friends. You know how you over invite thinking, "O.K" only 1/2 will show up". No, lucky me, everyone but one showed up. Oh well, it was a lot of fun.
And what's a party without a pinata?
I remember the one year Johnny put it in the garage the day before a party and when the kids cracked it open, ants were crawling all over the candy. You could hear a lot of "ewwwwsss!!!"
So Tip #1. Be sure to wait till just before the party to fill up the pinata with candy. Otherwise, ant candy.
