Riley's First Birthday

We had a great time at Riley's birthday party. We had definitely worked to make it quite memorable. I think I wore myself out in the weeks before just getting ready for the party. I had made myself quite a few "quick" projects because I wanted her to have EVERYTHING!!!

Here are the pics...for your viewing pleasure :-)

The "sweets table" with homeade cupcakes and arranged cookies.

The cookies are arranged in a "R". Can you tell?

The cake made by her daddy. And the watermelon boat...made by daddy too!

Do you see the pile of gifts???

Outfit #2 - tutu and shirt with a "one" on it.

Mommy made the fluffy pink tutu :-)

And now for the cake pics!!!!

We sang Happy Birthday....

Then blew out the candle (can you see she's blowing?)

Then she was just in awe of the cake.

We actually had to force her to put her finger in her mouth after this!

Then the sugar door was opened...

Yes, that is a hot pink icing goatee!

Happy Birthday Princess!! We love you so very much and are so incredibly blessed to have you in our lives.
