Happy Birthday!!

Today we celebrated the girls' birthdays with a combined family party. Sure Riley's birthday was a month ago and you are supposed to have a big first birthday party but who cares:) Riley is never able to celebrate her birthday with her New Jersey family, so since they were in town, it was the perfect opportunity. The weather was cooperative, albeit super hot and it turned into a fabulous day. We borrowed a big water slide and jumpy house from the neighbor for the "big" kids and put out the baby pool for the little ones and all the kids had a blast. It was so great to have our families together to celebrate the girls and get to spend time together. Thank you to all that came to party with us and thanks for another year to Grammy for making the wonderful birthday cakes! At Riley's request this year she had a pig and Payton had a giraffe. Maybe one year, Riley will just want a plain old sheet cake from Grammy....probably not though:) (The previous 2 years Mom made a monkey and an elephant for Riley....)

(In the pictures you can see Payton standing all by herself after "pushing" off of me....makes her SO darn proud of herself!!)
