Riley's Second Birthday!

We had a blast, celebrating Riley's second birthday. On the actual big day (March 30), we not only got to go to Egglectic for brunch with my college roommate, Julie, but in the afternoon, we experienced the fun trifecta: the PARK by the TRAIN tracks with ROBBIE! It really doesn't get much better than that. Riley LOVED the day, and I loved that she loved it. After all, birthdays are special, and my big girl only turns two once! :)

Riley LOVED chasing Robbie, and I'm thinking Robbie wasn't opposed, either. :)


Aren't these two precious? Riley absolutely adores her buddy. Plus, Robbie taught her not to be scared of the slide. What a brave little dude.

Young explorers! :)

I also forgot to mention that after Egglectic, we stopped by Stork's Cradle in Wheaton (where I will do all my baby shower shopping now, as it is INCREDIBLE!). Riley decided to use her Great-Granny and Granddad money for this cute and snuggly moo-cow.

When Daddy got home from work, Riley got to open her new Go Green bike. She hasn't quite figured out the pedaling thing, but we're working on it.

She also got a new bike boo-boo.

Riley truly got to celebrate a birth-week because, on Friday, we went to Grandma and Papa's house to hang out with them AND Cousin Ben, Hannah and Aunt Sarah.

Riley got a new book, all about being a big sister!

Ben struts. Riley giggles. Such is life. :)

But that wasn't all! On Saturday, the Green fam came over for a full-out part-ay! :) Riley helped me prepare the balloons...

Oh, Riley, the camera loves you.

Riley and the boys walked down to the church parking lot to play with Riley and Ben's bikes...



While Hannah and Noelle shared some giggles...

Two dolls :)

I'm pretty sure Riley can't wait till next year. :)
