2nd Birthday Party












Riley had a wonderful birthday party and we want to thank everyone for all the great gifts! Riley had so much fun at her party that she slept for 3 1/2 hours after everyone left! That gave me a chance to put some of her toys together and clean up. Riley got a bunch of great toys and clothes. She even got a little cash to put towards her college fund. All in all, she cleaned up! Thanks to our WONDERFUL family for sharing the special day with us. We love you all so much!



Guess Who's Two?

Riley turned 2 on November 23rd. It's so hard to believe that I have a two year old! She has grown so much over the last few months. She knows the sound every animal makes. She is starting to count and she knows most colors. We had a small celebration on her birthday and then had a family birthday party for her the following Sunday. She actually opened the presents herself and seemed pretty excited about her toys. Especially if it was Barney or Dora. Here is a little video of her enjoying a cupcake her Aunt Leslie brought her on her birthday.

Happy Halloween!

As you can see Riley was an adorable puppy for Halloween this year. She went Trick or Treating for the first time. I think she had a great time being pulled around in her wagon and seeing all the other kids. We worked on saying "Trick or Treat" but when the time came she was too excited and just said "Candy! Candy!". She always said thank you and even only took one piece of candy when she was given the option of picking her own. The weather was great so we didn't have to bundle her up. We even let her have a few pieces of candy when we got home. She LOVES candy! She has asked for candy about 50 times a day since then. It must be in her blood to crave it! Even though we don't ever let her have it she knows it yummy. Hopefully all our Halloween's will be this fun!
