Aunt Gigi and Amy decided it would be a good idea to re-paint the armoire we have in Bailey’s playroom in the basement.

What started as a 2 hour project, became a 2 day project. Though I don’t have any “BEFORE” pictures, I have some “DURING” and “AFTER” shots.

Here’s the armoire stripped of its hardware and primed:

Here’s Bailey helping out with the painting:

and her helping to plug in the sander (she learned this on her own):

We took a break to have some dinner. Here’s Bailey with Aunt Gigi’s glasses… and us about to eat some of Grandma’s soup:

Two days later… the finished product:

Bailey with mom wearing her “1st Birthday” hat.  I guess the hat was too cute not to purchase…  seeing as we probably won’t get any more use out of it.

Next, all smiles while opening gifts…

Now it’s time for some birthday cake:

Christy and Cooper join in on the action…

Christy & Cooper AND Destiny

The Great-grandparents arrive… Here’s Bailey with Nana Jones:

Ella and another with Aunt Shirley, Ella & Bailey snuggling:

Below, Aunt Gigi with little Taylor and Bailey:

More Birthday cake???

Bailey doesn’t seem to like her party hat:

So we distract with the cake and she starts to dig in…

Fischer & I get in on the feeding frenzy…

All done with the “smash cake:”

Now, it’s time to blow out the candles on the “real” cake:

Great-Grandfather Papa Jones trades in his Stetson for a REAL hat:

More gifts? There’s too many to list… thanks everyone for coming and thank you for the gifts… Bailey’s enjoying them all!

Well, not really… but we did lose power for a half-day:

The loss of electricity didn’t seem to bother the Drool Queen:
