It's My Party and I will cry if I want to

Riley got a little overwhelmed and this is the result (she did not want her picture taken with group)
Chris, Maria's mom, made these for everyone to have their picture made and these are two of my RA's that came to the party.

The birthday girls

Wow! It is so hard to believe that my baby is FIVE! Five is a big one. Joey and I have been talking about how this is the beginning of the end. I know that sounds bad, but now she will be getting ready to go to school and she will have her friends and be spending more time away from us than we would like. Anyway, enough of that. She is an amazing little girl and we just love her so much. You can always see the wheels turning in her head. She likes to know everything. I know that she will do great in school.
We had her party on Saturday and it was great fun. It was a double party with one of her friends from school whose birthday is on Wednesday. We had a fairytale party with a castle, princesses, knights and dragons.
This morning we woke up and we had some mommy/daughter time. She and I went to get doughnuts and then took them to a local coffee shop and just enjoyed a little time talking about life. It was fun. Then Nana took her shopping and out to lunch. Tonight she is picking her place to eat supper "the peanut place" her favorite. It is also known as Colton's. It has been a good day. We have enjoyed the pretty weather and will continue to do so once I get off to the computer.
