Happy Birthday, Riley!

Happy 5th Birthday Riley! I cant believe my baby is already five. It's unbelievable how fast time goes. She is such a sweet little girl. Riley will do anything for anybody. She's the first to jump up if someone needs something. She is so loving and sensitive towards everyone. She absolutely loves animals. Elsa, our dog, has a special place in Riley's heart. (Too bad for Elsa haha.) Riley likes to sleep with Elsa every night. Elsa tries to hide from Riley, but we find her.

Riley is a friend to every little child she meets. She likes to make them feel included. She can be shy but will warm up if you give her some time.

I thank God for all he's done for our family. He has blessed us so much over the years.
We celebrated Riley's actual birthday (Monday, March 17th) with just our family and Aunt Kelly. She wanted to go to Chuckie Cheese, so we spent the evening there. The kids had fun playing with all of the games.We came home in time for her to open some presents. We bought her quite a few small things. She thought she was pretty lucky to have so many gifts!

Her big present from us was the Barbie with the unicorn. She was pretty happy with her gift.


Aunt Kelly bought her a princess crown with jewelry. She had to put some lip gloss on to complete her outfit.
Grandpa Tom and Grandma Andrea bought her a fishing pole. We always go boating when we see them, and the kids enjoy fishing.

Having fun at Chuckie Cheese. It wasn't horribly busy, so we didn't have to wait to play the games.





I'd say her favorite gift was the Hello Kitty water bottle. Who knew? We had a fun time being together as a family. I really try to be present and remember these times because I know they will fade fast. We love you to the moon and back Riley!
