Today we celebrated Joli's birthday early. Her birthday is not actually until the 6th of December, but Joe's probably going to be gone then. So we decided that with Thanksgiving and all that craziness coming up that we would go out to dinner and give her her big present now. I found the cutest outfit in the box of the next size clothes that she's going into. It was so cute and it was actually almost too small so I put it on her now!
Then we went out to Souplantation with some friends and Joli got to have her own mini ice cream cone! She loved it!
We came back and showed her the box that her toy came in. She didn't seem all that interested until we took out all the parts. While Joli seemed thoroughly amused by the HUNDREDS of parts that fell out, the four adults looked at the pile in shock. 
But after a few pitchers of margaritas, it didn't seem all that bad. 
As always the best part of any toy is the giant box it comes in.
Us girls played while the boys did the man thing and eventually got it all together. Once it was together and in the room they said it didn't actually look like it was that hard, but at first it seemed impossible. Joli certainly appreciated it.
I had to rearrange the room to get it in there, but it seems to look and fit perfectly now.
Then she had her first first birthday cake. She's getting a birthday party next month, but we're not sure if Joe's going to be back yet. So this was the first cake of her first birthday. It's not actually cake. It's cranberry-orange bread with frosting on it. But cake's all relative right. It didn't matter though, Joli loved it.
Eventually she got tired, and like all sugar-crazed children, she crashed. Although she seems to recovered just fine.
