Who's Birthday Is It?

What a great day it turned out to be. The sun was shining, not to hot, just right for a first birthday.

Riley was very excited to see everyone, he just loves people and all the attention. Did some exploring around the house. Looked at all the presents, cake and balloons. Then it was time for some lunch which Sami fed to him. Once his belly was full moved on to the party stuff.

Play a game of bingo with Breann as the caller, she did an excellent job. Even if at first she was trying to give Cole an edge by checking out his card and looking for the animal to give him a bingo, but we caught on to that and made her shuffle the cards and pull from the bottom of the stack. Still ended up with 3 winners. Lots of fun.

Then on to the cake, of which we had plenty. Riley really enjoyed having his own little cake and being able to just dig in and that is what he did. He didn't eat very much of it but it certainly was a mess when he was done, or at least when I deemed he was done and time to get cleaned up.

It was then time to cut the big cake and as always Publix made a great cake. Also had some other goodies to eat. Lil smokies, meatballs, bread, chips and dip, and a veggie tray. Most everything seemed to disappear in a blink of the eye.

Time to burn off some of the excess energy, so out to the pool we went. Tom, Jason, Sami, Cole, Breann, Nikki, and Riley all went swimming and had a great time. The water was beautiful and the sun was warm. Very pleasant until the sun dropped down and was in our eyes.

Tammy, Cheri, Jeannie, and I were sitting there thinking we were feeling splashing from the pool when it really had started to sprinkle, so we heading into the house for another round of bingo and to play with some of Riley's new toys.

It was getting late and everyone was getting tired, so we called it a day. And what a great day it was.
