A surprise for Tess!

These are just a few pictures from 2 Sundays ago when two older couples in our church body heard about Tess' 1 year anniversary with us! They took us out to eat and then surprised us with a little cake for Ms. Tess.













The second & third picture is Tess telling us how old she is. (although we were not celebrating her birthday the number 1 fit this occasion!)















It was such a sweet gesture and so heartfelt and we are so thankful for these dear sweet brothers & sisters in Christ who have treated Brent and I like their own children and love on Tess like she's their own grandchild!

  4. My mom and dad always celebrated my "anniversary". The boys were jealous LOL. But it is a great tradition.

  6. Just all around sweetness! Her grin can light up a room. Tell Tess her cousins Sam and Jack miss her, and give her a big kiss.

  11. Love the pics. You are a great photographer or is it just that Tess is so adorable.
