Tess's Birthday

Tess (name means to reap/harvest) and so far we are still sowing into her life, but there is already some harvesting! She is a lovely soul, with an abundance of compassion and a heart so big that you can never get to the bottom of it! She is very creative and passionate, and filled with wonderful ideas that simply amaze us as she grows older. She so much wants to please that sometimes its hard to tell the truth, as she wants to remain seen as pure!

She has been the most affectionate child, still saying more than 10 times a day "I love you mommy" and always melting with joy if we hug or kiss her.

We love you Tess.

Tess's birthday started by an early wakeup, she had only 2 presents, as we are still getting her one more thing. Kai made her earings and she also got a cute cover for her bed.

Amitai gave her a kiss!

Later, when she thought it was just going to be an ordinary day, she found herself blindfolded and her friends were secretly smuggled into the Landy and we took her into the desert for a picnic.

Here she is blindfolded:

It is removed and she sees who is behind her.
So shy! But having fun.
Our beautiful 10 year old!
