Julia Turns 1!

Julia had her first birthday on Tuesday!

This cake was entirely hers, and the minute I put it in front of her she enthusiastically stuck her hand in the frosting. Turns out, she's terrified of sticky frosting, and she wouldn't stop crying until I cleaned it off her hands.

She loves the walker we got her. Yes, she is running into Aaron, but if I remember right he might have deserved it.

Isabelle loved playing with Julia.

And she had lots of help opening her presents.

After her friends left, I had to get a picture of her in her birthday girl bib. "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!"

On Saturday, we had a Triple Birthday Party for Julia, Greg, and me!

Sam's Club did an awesome job with the cake!

Here's some perspective of how big this cake was!

"Happy Birthday, dear Julia"

And Greg and Lara!

I just couldn't bear to slice into her cute little face. Fortunately, somebody else did it for me and then she felt so bad. "I'm so sorry I sliced into your baby's face - right between the eyes! Did you want to save that piece?"

Levi taking Julia on a date. He thinks he's driving, but really Julia is in control of this vehicle.

We ended the evening with a backyard movie of "Wreck-It Ralph" -- loved it!
Thanks to all who made our triple birthday party a huge success!
