We had Jillian’s 1st Birthday party this past Sunday. Lots of kids and lots of parents were there to help us celebrate her first year. She arrived to the party late – she over slept. But once she joined her friends she enjoyed every minute.
She had her first juice box. It was apple juice and she LOVED it. So it being her birthday and all, she got this second one. She carried it around all over and would not let it go.
The kids and the adults had a great time jumping in the bouncy castle, playing in the sandbox and making bubble snakes at the water table.
Jillian got lots of help opening her gifts. But once they were opened, she liked to keep them in one big pile on Amber’s lap – so they would all be close to her.
Next was cake time. Here we are singing her Happy Birthday.
She enjoyed the yummy cake.
And the ice cream too 
We all had a nice time. It was great to hang out with our friends, but we really missed all of our family. We thought about you the whole day. Hopefully next year we will be able to celebrate with family.
We can’t wait to see what Jillian does in this next year. She makes us laugh everyday. And we hope seeing her puts a smile on your face too.
Happy Birthday Jillian!
Happy Birthday Jillian. You guys look like you’re doing great.
