Happy Birthday, Jillian!

Jillian had a great 1st birthday. Yesterday at school, all the kids made her a big birthday card (poster). They even all scribbled by their names.
Mommy made mini cupcakes for a little party at school. 7 children ate all 24 cupcakes so they must have been good! I was not able to go to the party b/c I had a meeting but her teachers were nice enough to take some pictures for me. Jillian waiting patiently for her cupcake.
Notice the bulletin board for Jillian as well.
Avery liked eating her hat instead of wearing it. Who needs a cupcake when you have a party hat to eat.

No cupcake for Gabe since he's too small but he sure does look cute in his party hat!

Finally! She apparently ate 2 cupcakes!
We also did a little cake for her at home with her 1st candle and we sang happy birthday. This was my practice run cake for the party and needless to say it did not turn out so we will go to plan B for the party. Jillian liked her candle and actually tried to grab it off the cake lit. It was in her way of getting to her cake. She was pretty fussy all night up until the point that we put the cake in front of her.
She immediately dug in!



I don't know what happened to my pictures but hopefully everyone else is able to see them b/c I cannot. Jillian also opened her present - we got her a storage shelf for all of her toys so we let her open the bins that go in the shelf. She has had a lot of practice with cake so she should be a pro by her party on Saturday.
