Happy Birthday Riley!!!

For Riley's special day, her daddy took a day off from work so that we could spend the day celebrating our little miss. The weather was gorgeous so we decided that the zoo would be the perfect place to take our 1 year old for some birthday fun,!

But first, she got to have some fun and get a little wet with her new water table from mommy and daddy.

It has been a while since we have been to the zoo but the animals were a big hit with Riley. Her favorites were the brown bears, giraffes, lions, otters and of course the elephants. She could hardly even take her eyes off of them long enough to look at the camera.

Another of her faves were the peacocks and she even immitates the word when we say it. When we ask her if she saw peacocks she will now say "cock cock".

In continuing our day that was all about Riley we had Gigi & Popdaddy, Grandma & Grandpa, Uncle Ryan & Aunt Kelly and Uncle Nick over for a family dinner.

On the menu was one of Riley's favorite foods...pizza!

And even though we are planning to have her cake at the party tomorrow, we couldn't let her real birthday pass without a little something sweet.

mmm....strawberry shortcake!

As it turned out, the whipped cream was a bigger hit than the strawberries and angelfood cake....
"Hey uncle Ry, can I have a bite?"

To top off our day of celebration, Riley got to open lots and lots of great presents from her grandmas, grandpas, aunt and uncles. She will be having lots of fun with all of her new toys!

We had such a fun day with our little one!
