 |
| What welcomed Riley in the morning! |
 | |
| He was quite fascinated with the balloon! |
 |
| There's Mama's Handsome Birthday Boy!! |
Riley's party was scheduled for the next day, so we hung out in the morning and went to Grandma & Grandpa Smith's in the afternoon. We still had a lot to get ready!
 |
| Daddy made a fun airplane while Mommy was working on decorations! |
 |
| Such a big smile! |
~ March 15 ~
Riley's party was at Grandma & Grandpa Smith's at 6 pm.
We had snacks while everyone visited, colored hippo pictures, and took a quiz about Riley! |

 |
| Cousins Kodi & Dakota coloring hippos! |
 |
| I used Riley's hippo pictures as decorations :o) |
 |
| Gifts & Balloons! |
 |
| The hippo cake that Daddy made!! |
 |
| It turned out great in both looks & taste!! |
Unfortunately, Riley had caught Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease earlier in the week, so not everyone was able to come to the party. We missed Auntie Melissa, Auntie Lynette, and cousins, Kaden, Kolbi, Evan, and Avery! Also Great Grandpa & Grandma May were not able to come due to crazy weather! It was still a full house though, and we had a lot of fun!

After awhile, we headed into the living room to open presents!
 |
| Riley was excited to party with Hippo... |
 |
| But it looks like he mistook Hippo for his birthday cake!!! |
 |
| Riley enjoyed directing everyone to clap for him!! |
 |
| Riley received LOTS of books!! |
 |
| Yay for presents! |

Time for cake and ice cream!

 |
| Once he had a taste, he thought it was pretty good stuff! |
