Jill's Barnyard Birthday!



Jill turned 2 on January 12, and to celebrate her birthday we had a few friends and family over for a barnyard themed party. We dressed the part, and had some fun farm crafts and treats!






The kids decorated their own barns with farm animal stickers.




Then we headed outside for a few games, like farm animal charades.





Back inside for some healthy snacks (before getting all sugared up).





And then, the good stuff. :) Jill picked the sheep cupcake, I think because it was covered in marshmallows.




Jill really enjoyed opening her presents. She was so excited about each gift. (Thank you to our sweet friends and family!)



Signing "Thank You."


Happy Birthday, Jilly billy! We love you so. You already have such a distinctive personality. You are spunky, silly, and sometimes downright hilarious. When you do test boundaries, you are quick to give hugs and apologies. Your snuggles can (and do) melt anyone! You and Kate are becoming such great playmates. It's so much fun for your Dad and I to watch. We pray that you two will grow into lifelong best friends. We love you and look forward to the wonderful developments and blossoming personality that your third year will bring!

Fabulous job on the animal cupcakes! I'd have picked the sheep cupcake, too. :) How neat that you got a picture of her signing thank you...what a fun way to remember that nonverbal communication.
