Today Tessa, Gigi and I went to visit Valerie and Milo for a Pinterest inspired Christmas photo shoot. Tessa was so excited to see her friends.

Tessa loves Christmas! She had so much fun dancing with Frosty and the Feliz Navidad chihuahua toy at Gigi and Papa’s house tonight. She is so funny she stops dancing if you dance.

We went to Picture People today to take Tessa’s picture for our Christmas card. We brought Christmas lights, her Santa hat, and a big chunky necklace.
