A birthday fit for a princess

My baby girl turns 4! She is not so little anymore. Tessa got out of bed and walked into the living room and the first thing she said was, where are my birthday decorations? Uhhhhhh.... So Mom and Aunt Llew walked up to the pound store and picked up some decorations and headed back to the flat to decorate. AJ and Nathan distracted Tessa in the bedroom while the rest of us did the decorating. When Tessa came back out she was so excited!
After a perfectly princess party, we set of for a full day of adventure. We started it off at the Tower of London where we got to watch a feud unfurl, a Beefeater, a royal Guard and the crown jewels! Unfortunately for Grandma Anderson, the Hope diamond is now in exhibit at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. (she will have to see it when she comes to visit). While we were there, Aunt Llew bought Tessa a birthday present, a beautiful Pearl and rose necklace and bracelet.
After the Tower and lunch, we boarded the Thames River sightseeing tour and headed down to Greenwich and then back up to the Tower of London to take the bus to Oxford Circus for a little shopping. We were finally able to buy Nathan the bagpipe chanter he had been wanting, so he could annoy David. When we finished there we headed back to the flat to pack. Off to Paris in the morning!
