Juliana's 1st Birthday

Hey all,

It's been awhile. Much has happened and lots of it I do not want to discuss here on my blog, although there are those who know what I am referring to. But for the sake of Juliana's journal I do want to say that her Paw-paw passed away December 19, 2009 at 7:43 in the morning.

Anyway, let's talk about my favorite subject rather than dwelling on the rough times. HERE is a picture I took of Juliana in Wal-Mart the day before her Daddy's, Paran Jay and Kirstin's birthday. She kept the reindeer antlers on just long enough for me to take the picture.

HERE is a picture of Jules eating a piece of her Daddy and Paran's birthday cake here at the house.

HERE and HERE are cute pictures of her with a Santa hat on here at the house.

Ray, Juliana and I spent Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning with Gina, Billy and Kirstin. HERE and HERE are pictures of Jules playing with her activity table her Nanny Gina got for her for Christmas. There is also the big stuff penguin we got for her as well. I do not have pictures of many of her Christmas presents. As it was we didn't open any presents here at the house until the day after Christmas.

We did not get back here until about 11:00 PM Christmas night as we were over at Missy's house until about 10:30 lol, but we had a good time.

I do have a picture HERE of Jules with a tube of Hershey's Kisses, hehe and HERE is a picture of her opening one of the pictures of Tinkerbell that Jay and Jennifer got for her.

HERE is a tired blue eyes picture.

HERE is a picture of Jules 'riding' on her penguin. She loves it. She also does the same thing with her big stuffed ladybug from last Valentine's Day.

HERE is a picture of her and her mashed potatoes at Ryan's a few days before her birthday.

HERE she is with a brownie and candle trying to get her to practice for her birthday. HERE she is after the candle is removed. All she wanted to do was grab at the flame on the candle lol.

HERE is the only way she will drink just plain water by herself. It is my one liter jug I use for water, so now we share lol. She will drink water out of a cup, but it is a mess to say the least lol.

HERE and HERE are pictures of Jules eating with a spoon lol.

HERE is a picture of the bumble bee cupcakes Jennifer made for Juliana's birthday. HERE is a picture of the ladybug cake Jennifer decorated as well.

1HERE, 2HERE, 3HERE and 4HERE are picture of the big birthday cake that was ordered for Juliana's birthday.

HERE and HERE are pictures of Jules with some of her balloons and a little static cling lol.

HERE is a good picture of the cake right before putting the candle on. HERE it is with the candle.

1HERE, 2HERE, 3HERE, 4HERE, 5HERE 6HERE and 7HERE she is with her own birthday cake. Jennifer and Jay ended up being the ones to give her a bath afterward in which she fussed as they were taking pieces of cake from her in the tub lol. Might I add there was a perfect ring of chocolate in the tub after the water was drained. HERE she is after the cake, a bath and a new set of clothes. By the way the first onezie she had on before said "What part of Princess don't you understand?". hehe

1HERE and 2HERE are pictures of her with a few presents -notice the duckie LOL she did not let go of it after getting out of the tub for a long time. She is so funny with the rubber duckies!!

HERE is a picture of Jules in the hat and mittens she got. HERE is a picture of the horse she got too.

Let me tell you a story about the horse. We were all in Wal-Mart before Christmas. Jay found the horse and she held onto it while we were inside the store. We took it away for part of the time, because we had found a bear with 2009 on the foot and was going get that instead. Shorty after walking away from the horse she kept looking for it and did not want anything to do with the bear, so needless to say we ended up putting the bear back and hunting down the horse again. However, we got lucky enough this time to be able to take it, put it in the trunk and hid it away until her birthday.

HERE is Juliana and Kirstin playing with one of Juliana's new toys.

HERE she is on the pink rocking horse we got her.

HERE and HERE are a couple pictures of some of the decorations we put up.

Well, I think that concludes this round. I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and hope that you all have had a good start to 2010!
