dyin' over zion

Tessa turned six in December, and I can hardly believe it! Part of me can hardly believe that she is six years old because that is pretty old, but the other part of me can't believe she is only six because I feel like she has been in my life for forever! Tessa has a really special place in my heart, and she always will. There's so many things that she does that remind me of myself as a child and even now. The rest of my family agrees that the two of us are a lot a like with our quicksilver(?) personalities. Tessa is the goofiest, most artistic, talented, sweetest, and prettiest six year old around.

For her birthday we went to Zions with the family and Ty's family for a picnic, small hike, and an IMAX movie, The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug. It was such a fun day and it reminded me that I need to go to Zions way more! 

I didn't take any good pictures so I think what I'll go ahead and do is just steal some from Brynne's blog and take all the photo credit. I hope she doesn't sue me for all that I have (she probably will)!
