Jillian's birthday fell on a Sunday this year. She requested powdered donuts for breakfast which she was so excited about! :)
Our 9 year old!
Birthday breakfast in our pj's.
She decided to open 2 gifts before church, and the rest of them at her party later that day.
She got her very own charm bracelet from mom and dad.
Each charm is something special about her.
The twins got her a Star Wars talking stuffed animal...she was thrilled! :)
After church, we went to Olive Garden..the restaurant of her choice.
After a yummy lunch, the girls helped me get the house ready for our family party!
The birthday girl!
....and little sister
All ready to celebrate!
Present time!
Shopping money!
Grandma brought Josie over a couple of gifts to open too....so she wouldn't feel left out.
A new pool and new swimsuits!! Yay!
Pizza time!
Jillian requested brownies and ice cream this year for her dessert.
This little girl loves ice cream!! She is anxiously waiting for HER party! :)
Happy Birthday Jillian! We love you!
