And the Birthday Party Continues

Finally Julia's actual birthday is here. And the day was full of activities. We started the morning with a room full of balloons. Jeff and I spent the majority of the evening before blowing up 72 balloons. We thought we would be smart and put the balloons in her room the morning of her birthday, just in case she woke up in the middle of the night she would not be scared. Well, in the process we woke her up at 5a.m. and basically ruined the surprise, but she still loved it!



Then we headed downstairs to open presents. It was an American Girl kind of birthday.




At lunch Grandma, Julia and I went to the American Girl doll store. We ate lunch in the bistro and shopped for more birthday presents.






Then that evening we met the rest of the family for the final birthday event, dinner at the Olive Garden. Her everybody was there and she got to have spaghetti. It was a great day.
