Celebration Numero Uno

Just in case you haven't been reading my previous posts, the weather this Spring has been rotten.  Poor Juliana, it sleeted and SNOWED on her birthday.  May 1st, rain and snow!  Yuck.  However, we made the most of it and still got together will our friends to celebrate!  Well, we got to celebrate both Juliana's and Ben's birthdays!  (That's Ben in the picture to the left.)  He turned four and has always been so tickled about the fact that they have the same birthday.  It's very sweet. 

My friend Bridget is a fantastic baker (she's the one who made Emily's bday cake) and she made her super yummy chocolate chip cookies for all to enjoy.  Juliana enjoyed them, of course.

There were a lot of kids indoors--eleven to be exact.  It was crazy and chaotic and everyone had a great time!  (And, yes, if you look closely at the second picture you can see that Kari is wearing a bright pink tutu-style bathing suit and one of Juliana's headbands.  Yeah, I choose my battles.)

 Ben is Henry's little brother (Henry is Christian's best bud.)  They have a lot of cool indoor toys.  Juliana really liked this little teeter totter.  I know, she's not smiling, but she's been teething and has been a bit grumpy lately.  So, the fact that she's off of my lap and not crying speaks volumes.

 Juliana also liked this little school bus driving toy/slide.  The little friend beside her was so sweet and scooted over to let Juliana climb aboard :-).

So, that was Juliana's celebration that we had on her actual birthday.  Emily had dance pictures that night and so we held the family party another night.  (Not that Juliana minded...or even noticed, really :-).)
