The Princesa has ANOTHER 1st Birthday Party

On Saturday, we celebrated Gilli's 1st Birthday with my family and friends. Great Grandma, Nani, Papa, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and Gilli's BFF, Myla and her family all came to help us celebrate Gillian's life! She looked beautiful and had so much fun!

Getting ready for the party in her frilly skirt and balloon tank top!
My mom made all the cupcakes and added the pink gerber daisies! So pretty!
Pink balloons, pink flowers, and pink ribbons.... such a girl party!
Aunt Heidi came up with the picture idea and we loved it! Brown painted clothespins held up sepia toned pictures of Gillian from her first year of life. They were clipped onto a brown and pink polka dot ribbon.
Gillian loves to walk around while holding our hands.... don't let go of even one hand, though! The princess doesn't like that! ;)
Gillian is attached to my hip and cries for me every time she sees me! I feel SO loved!! :)
She got so excited when she saw her cupcake!! I think she knew what was coming!! SO cute!
She stuffed her face again! The girl loves cake and icing!! YUMMY!
Miss Myla thought the ribbon was pretty tasty! We were so glad she could celebrate with us! Isn't she a doll?!!
Gilli loved the book from Aunt Maegen, Uncle Aaron, and cousins, Abby and Lauren! She loves to read!!!
Aunt JoJo and Miss Myla got Gillian the most adorable little Corelle Doll!
Look guys, I got a BIG present! Nani and Papa, what is it?
Cute little tushie, and look at that hair at one year old!

Happy Birthday Gilli Girl! Sweet pictures of both your trip and birthday. Loved the picture idea, I may need to copy. :) Love all of her hair, how fun. I am in no hurry for Bella to grow up, but I am excited for her hair to grow. Blessings to you and your family, Susie

Thanks for allowing us to be a part of Gilly's special day with your family. Heidi and I decided to take a raincheck on the mudpit wrestling. :)

I did LOVE that picture banner idea and would've stolen the idea had I had more time to plan! :) Everything turned out perfect, and Gilly looked like a little doll baby-princess-diva. :)
