Happy Birthday, Baby-Girl!

A whole year has passed and it is hard to believe! This has been the fastest, happiest and craziest year and we've had a wonderful time.

Happy Birthday Riley! You have made our family busy and complete and we're so in love with our spirited, goof-ball girl!

Party like a Mitt

Riley had a great birthday party yesterday. Over 20 friends and family (some traveling from out of State!) came to watch her open presents at a mind-numbingly slow speed, eat food, cake and hang out. Riley made a mess out of her large piece of strawberry cake - and she was also awe struck by everyone singing Happy Birthday, to her!





















Here Riley poses with her three grandmas and her friend Charlie!

Babies!

The day after Christmas Riley's friend Charlie flew in to visit us! She was delighted with him and he was so sweet and so mellow, but got understandably upset when her kisses turned violent. Such cuties!

Baby's First Christmas

Riley spent a busy Christmas with Matt's Family and my family. She was a trooper opening so many neat gifts, though she's a slow unwrapper and easily distracted.

Here, she opens her first-ever Christmas gift.
















Riley and her Aunt Heidi!
