Tessa Turns Two on Thanksgiving

Well, I definitely dropped the ball with Tessa's birthday update.  We surprised her with cupcakes for breakfast.  All she was interested in was the frosting, though.  She opened her presents from Gramma & Grampa C. and Ahmma & Dumpa H. while she skyped with them.  After her nap time we did a quick photo shoot in our front yard.  Reviewing the pictures, she looked so grown up to me. How did that happen….my baby girl turning two? We had a low-key Thanksgiving dinner.  It was so casual that we didn't even have a turkey.  Instead, I crock-potted an eight-pound turkey breast that had been marinating in adobo for the past three days.  We sang 'happy birthday' again after dinner, and the girls & I dug into some homemade pumpkin cheesecake.  Tessa only ate her cool whip topping. Silly girl!  A couple weeks prior to her birthday she started copying her sisters and telling knock-knock jokes during mealtimes.  She cracks herself up and everyone else around her. She also started acknowledging her farts by saying, "I toot."

This is her trying to show me 'two fingers'
