Another year came and went as we got ready to celebrate our little girl's 2nd birthday :( Riley has grown so much this past year as we've watched her change in so many ways and learn many new things. She's blossoming into her own person and as much as it kills me as a mom to see her grow up, I'm so excited for all the things she'll discover and happy to share in all of it with her! Being a mom has been THE BEST thing that has ever happened to me, and sometimes I truly believe that I was put on this Earth to be a mother. And yes, that sounds completely insane, but I've never been more proud of any accomplishment in my life until now.
So this year we had Riley's birthday party at Mae Boyar Park in Lakewood. It was the perfect park to have her 2nd birthday because it had a huge shelter, kiddie park and wading pool! What I really liked about Boyar was that all 3 things were super close together and it was enclosed so we didn't have to worry too much about lost children. Riley had SO much fun running around everywhere, eating snacks she doesn't normally get to have, playing with her cousins & friends, cooling off in the wading pool, and just enjoying all of her favorite people in one place!
We had her party the Sunday after her birthday, so on her actual birthday, Riley spent the morning playing with her BFF Amelia. Then we went over to Gigi's (my mom) house and hung out for the rest of the day until Ruben got home. Then we went out to Super Mex for dinner with Ruben's family, sang happy birthday at home and let Riley open her presents from Grandma & Papie. The day before her birthday, I took her to Chuck E Cheese with Carissa & some of her family so we celebrated a little early :)
She LOVES her new play house from her Nino Johnny!
Thank you so much to everyone that made it to her party and helped us celebrate Riley's 2nd year of life! We are so blessed to have so many amazing people in our lives. Thank you also to everyone who brought Riley a present, unfortunately, Riley tore through her presents so fast I didn't get a chance to write everything she got down and where it came from. Her presents also got mixed up a lot and some didn't have a tag or card inside, so we couldn't figure out who got something. But THANK YOU everyone!
