Happy 1st Birthday!!! (feel better soon!)

Poor Riley was all ready for her Casagrande birthday party on her actual birthday BUT...
the day before she had a fever so we took her into the Dr. to find she has a double ear infection AND the FLU!!
Then on top of it we were going to get a snow storm on her birthday!!
What a great birthday present for Riley. We postponed her party and celebrated her birthday by relaxing in our PJs all day.

I think Riley's favorite gift is her new microphone... she walks around singing on it all day. She loves to record herself and hear it back. We also gave Riley a kitchen set and golf club that are 2x the size of her... but she loves them! lol She will grow into them rather than worry about her growing out of it too quickly. Ryan also gave her toy cars so that she will feel part of his car searching... yes he is still searching for that special car.
GG and Grampy stopped by to spoil Riley with MORE gifts! We told you she would be reading by the time she is 1 with all the teachers in the family!
Thanks so much to GranDanny and Mo for sending Riley a LOUD drum set! We will be sure to call you up late at night to hear what a wonderful musician she has become. :)
Riley found out quickly about her new magnetic set... that sometime they don't "stick" together.
Move over Sid the Science Kid... Riley loves science too!
When it was time for cake... Riley put on her 1 is fun hat...
Clapped while we sang to her...
Then dug right in to her green cupcake AND icecream cake! YUMMY! (we are still trying to fatten her up... a little over 16 pounds at a year is HUGE! lol)
After cake it was time to play with her NEW toys... GG was excited to give Riley her first jar of peanut butter for her birthday. She can't have a peanut allergy with a GG that eats PBJ everyday for  lunch!
I on the other hand was sooo excited to start Riley off with her first golf lesson...
Ryan listened on too... he wanted to get some good tips. 
Tiger Woods has no idea what is coming his way. And Grampy is super excited to be Riley's caddy!
Riley golf is not a game that can ever master. She took that as a challenge... and lost! lol

Happy 1st Birthday Riley! We hope you had fun and feel better soon! :) Just look at it this way... we didn't postponed your party... we just turned March in your BIRTHDAY MONTH!! Let the celebration continue!
