Riley's Birthday

My baby girl, THE baby, turned 5!  As far as she is concerned though she turned 15!  Riley is quite the little lady who loves to wear her dresses and skirts...with heels (either her Jasmine or Rapunzel heels of course).  Everyone is still unclear as to where she got her girlie-ness but it suits her well.

For her birthday she asked for the Littlest Pet Shop Treehouse...which she wanted to shop for on her birthday...so we did!

and she also picked out a new Barbie scooter complete with light up wheels!  This girl knows what she wants!  When she saw her scooter in the store she picked it up and carried to the check out line.  I caved and got it for her but told her she could not open it until her actual birthday.  Even though she had hand picked her gift...and personally carried it out of the store after its purchase...and brought it into the house...and set it in the closet...

She wanted it gift wrapped.  But not with any gift wrap we had in the house.  Nope, she picked that out too.  

And if you can tell from the motion blur in the picture she couldn't wait to tear into said wrapping paper on her birthday!

She picked Red Robin for dinner, probably because she knew that they give you a birthday sunday and she loooooooves ice cream!

And ice cream she got!  Doesn't she look excited!  Daddy refused to look at the camera because he was watching the TV overhead.  I think I've come to accept that only one out of every 100 pictures I take might have everyone looking at the camera...adults included!

Now she is asking to get her ears pierced and she says she has even found "the perfect earrings!"  Maybe for Christmas!

Riley got celebrate more at her birthday party that weekend!

Happy Birthday to my little lady!  We love you Riley!
