Doesn’t it feel like the Bravo hit show Real Housewives of New Jersey started like, just yesterday? All of the Housewives, past and present, have been through a lot over the last nine seasons, but none quite like OG cast member Teresa Giudice. The world has really gotten to see her family grow over the course of the show’s history, and on Jan. 8, Teresa let us in on a big milestone for the longtime reality TV fam. The RHONJ star’s eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, turned 18! Tre took to social media to showcase the festivities for Gia — and someone was noticeably missing. While Gia’s dad, Joe Giudice, remains in jail as he serves out a 41-month sentence for fraud, the Giudice family celebrated the best they could in his absence. Scroll through to see pics of all the happenings of Gia’s 18th birthday bash!

Happy 18th, Gia! That cake looks both absolutely gorg and totally delish.

Teresa’s sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, was in attendance with a glass of wine in hand. The party’s not a party without Aunt Melissa, even if she and Tre haven’t been getting along too well on the current season of RHONJ. But what else is new?

Wherever Melissa Gorga is, you’ll also find her husband, Joe Gorga. Teresa’s brother posed for a cute pic with one of her younger daughters Audriana. Lookin’ good, Uncle Joe!

We literally cannot believe Gia is 18 now! It feels like only yesterday she was a teeny spitfire with brown curls.

Demolished! Trust an Italian fam to kill an entire cake in one go.

What a sweet family photo. We can only imagine how much the 46-year-old Bravo star and her girls are missing Joe, especially during moments like this one.

Gia and her younger sister, Milania, posed for Mom in a cute pic together. Milana is practically Gia’s mini-me — they’ve both grown up so fast.

Gia, we wish you the best birthday yet. 18 is a big one, but they only keep getting bigger — so enjoy it, girl!
