Riley's 2nd Birthday Party [videos]

We celebrated Riley's 2nd birthday this past weekend!

My parents, grandma, brother, sister-in-law, nephew, cousin and her sweet baby were all here to help celebrate!

It was such a nice family gathering, and Riley had a blast!

Thank you to my family for celebrating with us - it was so special to me and Riley and we enjoyed the company very much!

Here are two short videos of us singing to Riley and of her eating her (owl) cupcake that Mommy made!

(Thanks to Uncle Ian for taking these videos!)

I will be posting pics of her party and birthday eventually...thanks for your patience!




Happy 2nd Birthday, baby girl!

We love you so much!

daddy doll

Riley got a special surprise in the mail recently...




Her very own "Daddy Doll!"


We received a voucher from base to get one.

I had been trying all deployment, but funding was limited - so we just got it!


Riley loves it!

Though, hugging the real Daddy soon will be even better!!

Riley's first time with (washable) markers!

Her and Grandma Pat made a cardboard house together...
