After the party and lunch with our friends, the Spitzenbergers, we headed home. As we were getting ready to take a nap, I told Jillian "We need to get a good rest so we can go celebrate your birthday at Gigi's!" And she looked at me with total happiness and surprise and said "There's still more??" Yep, Jillian - in this family we do birthdays to their fullest! So, after a good nap, we picked up pizza and headed over for dinner with Gigi, Papa, Bubbie, Grandad, Grandma, Uncle Neil, Aunt Katie, and Landon.
After dinner, we opened presents, including a few from her friends. This one is from her best friend, Caleb - like I mentioned in a previous blog, he refers to her as "JIllian Bean Hank Wife" and asked that his mom write just that on the card. She loved it!
After Papa and Meredith made her grasshopper, Grassy, a few weeks ago, they started working on a hippo for Jillian and Papa wrapped it up for her to open - she loves him! Papa is so talented!
Jillian didn't have any big requests for birthday presents this year - hippos, of course, but then she was insistent every time she saw these chips and some Chex Mix that she wanted those for her birthday! I promise we feed her. And we do feed her junk food, too. So, anyway, I had to go to a couple of stores to finally find this Doritos Munchies mix, and finally got them at RaceTrac, but they made her day!
Since we had already had cupcakes that day, we decided to all go out for our family favorite dessert - Frozen Yogurt! She was so excited that she got to go with Landon, too!
I brought a 3 candle to put in her yogurt (forgot the lighter) so we got to even sing to her and she thought it was so funny to pretend to blow out the candle!
At bedtime we got all of her hippos (from her birthday and from before) and put them up on her bed and she loved laying in the middle of them (especially since she was in her new hippo PJs from Caleb!
