Riley's Birthday Party

Today was Riley's birthday party.  The weather decided to cooperate and it turned out to be beautiful!  We all had a great time.  We had to help you refrain from being too helpful...you wanted to open Riley's presents for him.  But, your Dad was kind, and made sure you had at least one present there that was just for you.

Jawea shared this picture with me of you enjoying a cupcake!

You Make Me Smile

This morning you and Riley were squealing at the breakfast table and I told you that you both were full of it.  You informed me that you weren't "full of it," but that "we are passionate"!!!

Well okay then.  You are passionate and you make me smile!

Generosity

I received a very kind and generous note in the mail today from Grandma Bonnie.  Her note to me said:

Dear Sunny,
I thought you would enjoy this so I made you a copy.
He did this all on his own with no prompting from me.

Then she included a letter she had written about you and a drawing you had made.  I sincerely appreciate both your generosity and Bonnie's generosity in sharing the letter so I could save it here for you! 

Thank you for loving and thinking of others.  Keep it up and the world will be a better place.

Playing with Your Tools

You are pretty excited about your birthday tools.  And, now you get to use the tool bench Gil gave you and Riley!!!

4th Birthday Party

How in the world did you already get to 4?  I love you so very, very much and you amaze me on a regular basis. 

This year's "theme" was tools/construction.  I and others got you a bunch of your own, real tools.  You loved it!  And, somehow you even ended up with two birthday cakes! 

Monica got you the coolest pinata this year as well.  I think we all really enjoyed ourselves.

Tio and Dori's Engagement

Today, Tio held a surprise engagement party for Dori and him.  Dori didn't know anything about it and her daughter's even flew in.  Boy was it crazy.  We all were asked to wear purple so I found this adorable tie-dye t-shirt for you and somehow you ended up with the purple ribbon around your head by the end of the party!

Later we received this nice note on Facebook!

Young at Art

We went to Young at Art with Eames today.  Not only do they have a ton of fun art/craft things but they have a box filled with sand and dinosaurs that you and Eames were in love with!
