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!
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! ;)
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!!!

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
Happy Birthday Gillian! You are such a sweet sweet girl. What a cute outfit you had on. Enjoy all your gifts.
Happy birthday to your sweet girl. Your daughter is adorable and loved the blog...even if your son has on a UK shirt. We are a UofL family :)

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. :)
Love her outfit!!!!!!!!!! And love the pictures on the mantel. What a fabulous idea. She is just a darling little girl and filled with so much JOY . . it is so evident.
Happy Birthday Gilli!
