"First, it's Ava's birthday, then it's Bailey's birthday, then it's Dev's birthday then Shannon's then... [points to self with big smile and nods her head] MINE!
Gillian had no shortage of ideas for her birthday gift. However, the number one, most important thing on the list this year was:
"The One That Opens Her Mouth"

| And here she is! |
Once she realized that birthdays = presents, Gillian had a few other ideas:
The Saturday before Gillian's birthday, all of her cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles came to spend celebrate the big day. Gilly's part was at Bounce Safari, a warehouse full of bounce houses). She ate pizza and cake, and was at the top of her birthday game. This was her first of 3 parties and she loved every minute of it! (The second was at school, celebrated with munchkins, and the third and final was at our house, thrown by Gillian's Fairy Godmother, Paula. More on that later)

Gillian's 3rd "3rd" Birthday party was a fete thrown by Paula at our house. Gillian ate pancakes with sprinkles, a homemade funfetti cake by mom (chad rated it a B; it took me 4 hours to make), and ripped into another round of presents leaving her in a state of birthday induced delirium.

Gilly, you deserved every ounce of birthday celebration that you received, and then some. Even though we like to joke that you are 40% crazy, that still makes you 60% pure amazement and joy. ;)
We couldn't love you more, thank you for saying and doing the most incredible things each day, and wish you a year full of delight. xoxox
