Riley's 2nd Birthday

Well a month worth of planning, a weeks worth of cleaning, and a day of preparing was worth a great day spent with wonderful family.  We are so blessed that so much of our family could enjoy Riley's birthday with us.  We first opened presents, then lit the 2 candles and sang happy birthday, then Ryan fired up the grill and made fantastic burgers and brats!  There was a whole spread of pasta salad, baked beans, snicker salad (thanks to Deb), cucumber pasta salad (thanks to Deb again!) and chips.  I decided not to make a cake but mini cupcakes, Riley likes them and when it's that hot out, no one wants sweets!  Present opening didn't go how I had planned it, Ryan sat with Riley to guide him, but Riley wanted to watch Ryan open the gifts, so it was kind of like Daddy's birthday too!  Riley loved all his gifts, the big gifts from us was a motorcycle hot wheels tri-cycle.  Below is a sample of birthday pictures:

by the way...Riley is going to be a big brother!
