Happy Birthday, Abby!

Abby, Tessa's cousin, celebrated her first birthday over the weekend.  It was fun to get together with the Palmer side of the family, as we don't see Nate's dad and stepmom and sister and brothers all too often.  Abby loved the cake (too bad I don't have pictures-it was adorable) and also loved her presents.  Ironically, Tessa didn't want to open a single present at her own party a little over a month ago, but was all about opening cousin Abby's presents.  Thank goodness she didn't try to pilfer any of her toys.

Here is Tessa and daddy, with Mimi in the background. (Nate had not been consuming any adult beverages, in case you were wondering!)
Abby, the birthday girl, is sitting in her new lawn chair.  Tessa is trying to get in it too.  That was the one present she was definitely jealous of, though she has her own anywhere chair.
And here is Abby with Jon, checking out one of her new books.
