Julianna and I went to the birthday party of a little friend of hers. She had a great time and it's fun to see her interact with kids that she has actually developed friendships with over the past couple of years.


This is the first time I have done her hair like this. It didn't come out exactly like I had hoped, but still cute, no?






Julianna and the birthday girl.


Jules and one of her bestest and "oldest" friends, Riley.


This was seriously the most organized birthday party we have ever been to. Jewel's mom set up three stations, each filled with crafts. So much fun!


Jules with the little guitar she decorated.


Playing parachute! I used to LOVE when, in elementary school, we had parachute day in gym class. I don't know if it really was, but in my memory, that sucker was as big as the entire gym!






I love, love, love this pic! My girl is just filled with joy!!








After getting home from Jewel's birthday party, Julianna decided that we MUST throw a party for one of her dolls. Yes, this included Jules wearing a party dress too! She was a little disappointed that the earlier party was a "play clothes" party. She really wanted to wear "a VERY beautiful dress"!


A stuffed spider for the birthday girl, who is wearing a matching dress!






Back to Discovery Place:

She's a fancy kayaker, just like Poppy!
