Well Jillian's Birthday is April 8, so we had her party on Saturday April 9th. It was a huge hit. Jilly loves pigs, cows, sheep, ducks, horses,etc. So I decided to give her a farm themed birthday. It was alot of fun. Charlie cooked Hot dogs for lunch and I put together a few projects. One was the "Grow a farm animal" and of course the Pinata. We were supposed to do "Pin the chick on the barn" but I actually had more kids than anticipated. Jilly had so much fun with all her friends. And her best friend Lyra came which she loved. We had about 45 people there.
Unfortunetly, it was cold and rainy that day but everything turned out ok. Charlie's mom made homemade Rootbeer and that was a huge hit. All in all I think everyone had a good time. Jilly got a ton of gifts. Here's some of the things she received:

2 Trikes
A bubble mower
Clothes
Books
A baby stroller
2 Bathing suits
Noah's ark Little People
A real Recliner
A Giant Elephant to lay on and watch her favorite movies
Strawberry Shortcake doll
New Sandles
Magnetic Paper Dolls
A Leapfrog Laptop
A Bell Doll
Littlest Pet shop animals

And the list just goes on. She had a wonderful Birthday and I am so thankful to everyone who could make it. She is growing up so fast and I just can't believe how fast these 2 years went by. We are so Blessed.
