"I've Never Been 5 In My Whole Life"!! ~Riley

Riley finally turned 5!! It seemed like it would take forever to get to her birthday. I think this was because we had her first party in July. We had to have a celebration with all of our friends in OKC before we moved. This was her actual birthday.

Opening presents

Riley does not like to be put on the spot!! When she was opening presents she would not turn around for everyone to see. It was so funny!!

She wanted a Tinkerbell dress so much and she was very excited when she got it from CC!!

On her birthday, Riley got lots of money. After her party I told her that I would keep the money in my purse to keep it safe. She did not like that idea!! I just thought it would be better that I keep it until we decided what to do with it. Riley had a fit!! She was crying and kept saying "my parents won't even let me keep my own birthday money". It was so funny!!

We also celebrated that weekend with Mimi, Papa, Caca and Ryan coming to Amarillo. When they all got here they brought her more money. They gave it to her in all $5 bills. She said that she was rich!! I didn't dare try to keep her money this time!!

Riley is such a sweet and loving little girl. She is so giving and always wants to share what she has!! I am so proud to have her as my daughter!! It is such a joy to spend each day with her!!

Happy Birthday sweet girl!!
