Julie's First Birthday (with Family)

Julie enters the kitchen on her birthday day. Jenny always works very hard to make sure each child's birthdays are very special and memorable. The streamers are a trademark of her dedication to this. Here Julie stops to play with them before going to sit down for breakfast.

A family shot. Julie decided she didn't really want to wear the birthday hat.

The "Birthday Princess" wearing a hat that says 'Fun to be One!". The hat didn't last long before she took it off, but it looks cute for these few minutes.

Mom poses for a quick snap with Julie.

The entire family watches as Julie opens her presents.

She thought her big present was pretty cool

Julie's new "ride"! From one of her favorite Disney Shows "Little Einsteins".

Julie heads out for her first "test drive" in her new car.

You can see the excitement in her eyes!

Julie's initial birthday cake (Jenny made a much better one for her party).

Mother and daughter share a quick glance as we all sing "Happy Birthday" to little Julie.

And now... for some cake!!!

.... and more... (shoveling it in)...

.... oh just look at all that mess...

One happy (but sugar comatose) 1 year old baby.

Julie opens more of her presents later that night as we all headed out for dinner.

I am so mad that I had to miss this. She really looks like she had a blast. I love the picture of all 4 kids. Can't believe that Joey and Jess are so big now. It just seem like yesterday we were there for Jocie first birthday. Time is flying by so fast.
