Our Jilly Bean had a birthday this month. I can't believe how fast my girls are growing up. These last few years I've really grown to appreciate and understand the advice I always got when my kids where little, which was "Enjoy them while they're little. They'll be grown before you know it." At the time I thought it was going to take forever before my kids would turn five, let alone grow up.
On the day of her birthday we had her cake, which was a turtle cheesecake by request, and she opened her other present.
After her birthday song she made her wish and blew out the candles.
She had a friend stay for dinner and cake. Here you can see her friend covering her ears when Jill opened her present to find a Kindle touch! She'd been wanting one for a very long time. I love my Jilly Bean! I love her excitement and love for life. I couldn't imagine my life without her, and count my blessings everytime we celebrate her birthday (as well as Sam and Miki's bday) I love my girls!!
The following Friday Jill had her friend party. She had 17 girls come to her party and they had a lot of fun. Here they are doing the conga line during a game of freeze dance.
Next they divided into groups and with a stack of newspapers and rolls of duck tape designed dresses.
