double digits was tough enough...now this!:)
what a beauty.
inside and out.
we all love this girl beyond belief.
she is kind, thoughtful and tender-hearted.
her sisters adore her and think she rocks.
she has lots of good friends.
and tries hard at school.
math is about her only subject that takes a little work.
she has a tendency for impatience.
and she stays up waaaay to late reading!
but no ones perfect right?:)
riley really wanted angel food cake with strawberries again for her big day, but there wasn't a descent looking strawberry in town this time of year. so brownies it was.
way more fun to make...sneaking a lick of batter and all.
dinner of choice...lemon chicken.
yeah for me too.
homemade cards
little past someone's bedtime i think.
and a new book.
most days i think i'm the mom to three crazy little nut-balls!!!:)
"happy half birthday to you..."
"happy half birthday to you"
"happy half birthday dear riley"
"happy half birthday to you!"
{everyone needed a little candle action}
you are so very, very loved.
