Gianna's Premiere - Happy 1 Year!!

Let's face it - Gianna's a star. So for her first birthday, we celebrated her Premiere party. This party was so much fun to throw. I only wish she would remember all the details. So, I took pictures in the hopes she'll let me repeat it for her 16th birthday party.

She LOVES hats, but cake.... not so much.

Our guests got to walk the red butcher paper -- I mean, carpet -- to the stage door.

.... that was two feet too short. Oops.

The paparazzi were everywhere.

... and I think they took some people off guard!

The fans came out in droves -- and shivered booties off all day. The sun umbrellas were sooo not needed. Windbreakers were.

This was the table whose occupants were bartering for neighboring table's movie candy. Seeing a bunch of adults hopped up on sugar was priceless. Hilarious.

Gianna had her turn walking the red carpet.

Then, signs autographs with her good pal Kyrsten.

Cousins Kayden and Avery and friend Kylan have a ball in the jumper. Lil Kayden got some air!

Folks warmed up with a movie buffet: hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, candy, soda. Don't tell Jamie Oliver.

The red curtain and stage brought to you by Mimi.

Gianna's actual birthday, March 31, fell in the middle of the week. So this is the star the day she turned 1!

And, this was taken during the photo shoot for the icing picture on her cake.

Gianna has been such a joy to our family. The year has flown by, really. We can hardly believe our little girl is one, and feel so blessed to be her parents. Her bright eyes, wonderful tooth-filled smile, warm hugs and sparkling spirit are sent from above. We thank God that she was sent to us on March 31, 2010. Here is a look back at Gianna's first year on earth...
