Piper and Tessa both celebrated their birthdays this past month. On November 11th, we were in Sun River with Ahmma & Dumpa. Benji and I woke her up at the crack of dawn and took her to get some hot cocoa, just the three of us. She opened a couple of presents before we headed back to Newberg. When we got home, the Ridgeways and Sophie came over for a pizza party. On November 26th, I took Tessa for a breakfast date to Fred Myer's for some donuts and let her pick out a balloon at the Dollar Tree. In the afternoon, Dadda took her to pick up her birthday cake and then let her pick out a special treat from the bulk bins at New Seasons. She opened her presents throughout the day, and after dinner Sophie came over for cake and ice cream. Sophie gave her a cute, little stuffed moose that she named Lizzie Moosey and hasn't let go of. Even though I wasn't able to write separate birthday posts for Piper & Tessa on their actual birthdays, I did take the time to do separate photo shoots. They both look so much more grown up than last year's pictures.
