Tessa

Ever since my daughter Riley was about four years old, she always wanted a little sister named Tessa. I was never sure where she got the name, but she wanted it so badly. Well since then I've had three more children-all boys. Needless to say, Jeremy, Jackson and Ryan would probably not have appreciated me naming them Tessa.

My daughter recently had her Sweet Sixteenth birthday party where she was probably expecting to receive a car. Instead, my husband and I purchased her a little Bichon Frise. She was completely in ecstasy, playing with the puppy throughout the whole party, basically ignoring her guests!

Oh yes, and just take a guess what she named it!
