Sea World for Tess' 3rd Birthday

We try and go once a year to Sea World, this year decided to go on Tess' birthday. Stefan took the day off and we trekked down for a day in San Diego. Tess loved it! We fed the sea lions, took rides in Sesame Street. It was awesome!!!!

Cinderella

Thank goodness to Skyler's birthday party. Tess finally was not afraid of a character and warmed right up to Cinderella. Aren't they so pretty????

Pippi Longstocking look a like

I was cracking up at this! I was experimenting with braids and when I braided Tess' curly hair her braids stayed up! Made Stefan and I laugh until we cried! Hope you get a giggle too!!!

Cooking or should I say sampling the product?

Another baking adventure.... Tess has been requesting strawberry cupcakes for a long time, well we finally made delicious strawberry cupcakes with a strawberry buttercream frosting. Here is Tess making sure it was perfect. Boy were they yummy, thanks Martha Stewart again!!!!

Spring Break at the Beach

It wasn't extremely warm, but enough sun to go to the beach and play...twice. We built sand castles, went on walks, and ran from the cold, cold water. Here is an amazingly large seastar that Dada and Tess found on one of their quests. It was truly beautiful!
