Our baby girl is 4

Riley is officially four years old and she has told everyone we have seen for the past two days that she is no longer three. In fact, she told us yesterday that she is now almost five. We can not believe we have a four year old...time has flown by. We are so proud of her, she is empathetic, happy, friendly, polite, smart, funny, creative, artistic, dramatic...and I can go on and on.

Last night we had her birthday dinner with Grandpa and Grandma. She was able to chose what we ate and again we had noodles, bread, butter, cupcakes and ice cream sundaes. She is an easy one to please.

When she got home from school I asked her to go upstairs and get changed...this is the party outfit she chose.


Simon and I made the cupcakes while Riley was still at school in the afternoon. Simon was in charge of the Smarties....many more went into his mouth then on the cupcakes.


Riley also requested party hats for everyone...including Cooper.

Present time. Jason and I got her tickets to go see Disney On Ice and a night in a hotel in Toronto over March Break. They were watching a video clip of the performance. Simon and Cooper got her the guitar and Grandma and Grandpa got her a Leapfrog computer system.





It was a great day for all of us and made was made that much more special when Riley said to Jason and I "I want to make you a beautiful picture because you made my birthday so fun. Thank you mom-mom and dada."
