Birthday Party



For the 2nd year in a row Riley had a birthday, she's 2 for 2. Typically you would expect 2 birthdays out of a 2 year old so we are on the right track, raising her good!

Many people came to the party, Molly, Anne, Rob and Carrie, Andrew and Mitzi, Brian and Shanna and quite a few little ones roaming around. It was pretty crazy and there was a Duck game on so the pictures are few and far between. And by few and far between I mean the ones you already saw is all we got! I blame Chip Kelly. Had he done what he was supposed to do we'd have blown out Cal and I would not have been having multiple heart attacks!

Anne, for the 2nd straight year, seemed to have the favorite toy of the day. A mini microwave that works. Riley LOVES it. She also loves her some weeble! Riley also has a new leap-top that we got with the gift certificate. We make great use of the Hello Kitty bubbles every night at bath time. Coloring books are also now a nightly activity in the Dojo.

For the record, the Ducks won and they are still #1 in the country, all is right in the Dojo!

two years old!

Riley turned two years old on Thursday. She took cupcakes to daycare, and wore her birthday girl shirt. The first words out of her mouth when we got in the car were "cupcake! cupcake!" They seemed to make quite an impression.

When we got home, Riley opened her presents from the grandparents.




Riley identified each item as she pulled it out.




Riley pulled out her Elmo pillow, and gave him a big hug. She said "my Elmo!"




Riley also got some shoes - one of her favorite things.



Thank you for the great presents!
