Happy Birthday Riley!!!

Happy Birthday to our little girl, who turns 3 today!!! It seems like just yesterday that we had her. She joined us at 20 inches and just 5 lbs. 9 oz. In case you forgot, here is what she looked like shortly after officially joining the family.

What joy she has brought us over these 3 years. It is hard to imagine what our lives would be like without her. She makes each day so much more fun and exciting. And the things that she says are so amusing! Yesterday, we had a little party for her birthday. With Riley's love of monkeys, we decided to make it a monkey party. There was a monkey cake (made by Grammy herself and oh so fabulous!), a monkey pinata, balloon, and a whole lot of monkey business. It was a great day shared with family and special friends. The kids had a blast all playing together. The highlight may have been watching how much fun they had trying to bust the pinata! We figured it would be broken open in no time, but it held on forever. It was a great day for Riley to celebrate with those who are special to her as she turned 3!
