Riley's Birthday

Hello again!

Well Chad managed to download our photos of the Birthday girl! In case you were wondering the parents survived a 5 year-old Chuck-E-Cheese Birthday (Thank you Aunt Kathy and Uncle Andre)!! It was SO much fun and we all enjoyed ourselves. Riley had been asking for a Chuck-E-Cheese Birthday for almost a full year so her wish was granted. She told us she "truly felt like a Birthday princess". Nothing makes a parent feel better than knowing your child is happy. She received a lot of cute gifts from her friends. A Lite-Brite from her good friends Conner & Kate and a baby Littlest Pony. Also, a red sweater from Auntie Marie that she must have worn at least 15 times already! Memere` and Pepere` bought her a new bike and Mom and Dad just a bunch of 'stuff'. Thank you for all who shared this day with us! We love you and thank you for all your LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone! So far it has been great, lots of fun with the family.

New Year's Eve was low key, we stayed in with the girls and played a Dr. Seuss game that Riley received for Christmas. Then of course New Year's Day was Riley's 5th Birthday. It was pretty cute because she asked if she was going to go to Kindergarten now. We have been telling her when she is 5 she will get to go, and apparently she took it very literally. We celebrated with the family by taking her to lunch and to a play gym and then came home and had cake. After that we took her to Build-a-Bear where she made a Hello Kitty which was her gift from our neighbor.

Her party with her friends was yesterday at Chuck-E-Cheese. We had a great time. For some reason my photo card is not letting me download but I am working on it. She had 10 little friends come to her party and we had pizza, soda, cupcakes and Chuck-E came to the table and wished Riley a Happy Birthday! She received a bunch of cool gifts. Today she got to go to the local High School gym and play with the other kids while Dad played basketball and Mom and Madeline hung out at home.

Here are a few pictures to enjoy while I figure out this silly card ... ugh!
