Another Party? Oh BABY!! We really love to celebrate your birthday! Today lots of our friends came over to wish you a Happy Birthday! and to congratulate Mommy and Daddy for surviving the 1st CRAZY year of the rest of our lives... (duh duh duh... say it in a dramatic and suspenseful way!) haha!
Our house was taken over by about 30 of our close friends... how we managed to squeeze in our tiny house and move around? lol we are still trying to figure that out. But some how it worked!
We thought it would be fun to play up Riley's Nursery Rhyme theme to her party by assigning everyone a special Nursery Rhyme. We encouraged them to be creative when thinking of a gift for Riley and have it some how play off their Nursery Rhyme.

We encouraged them to be creative when thinking of a gift for Riley and have it some how play off their Nursery Rhyme. Some complained... Some laughed at us for our "creative" ideas... But all in all we have to say we have some very creative friends! The Cotes created their own version of Humpty Dumpty... The LaBets we sooo proud of their tree that goes with Rock-A-Bye Baby on a tree top... The Cuneos even did a little research about Pop Goes The Weasel (because of Tati's 1st grade teacher) and played off that! We know even through the belly aching they all really LOVED the creative play off the Nursery Rhymes.
Riley loved all of her thoughtful gifts but towards the end she began to get a little tired... so we had to cut the gift opening short for CAKE!
After a quick outfit change... our little DIVA!
See... we both are playing up the Nursery Rhyme theme with our shirts. Humpty Dumpty and 3 Men in a Tub... soo cute! haha!
Look at this AMAZING Hey Diddle Diddle Cake and cute Humpty Dumpty Cupcakes made by our talented friend Marisa! We had many guest feeling bad about taking a piece of this cake because of how beautiful it was... but after one person said it was equally as delicious... nobody had a problem jumping right in. We are so lucky to have an in house Ace of Cake baker!! Pat-a-Cake Pat-a-Cake MARISA please bake me a cake!! :)
No matter how many times we sing Happy Birthday to Riley it is not going to get old... to Riley that is. This is now her NEW favorite song!
Riley was too tired to dive into her cake... BUT she did eat it... off of everyone else's plate that is. (David followed Riley's lead to everyone's plate.)
As the night got later and later, Riley said NIGHTY NIGHT to all of her friends. She thanked them for joining her in celebrating her 1st birthday! She made sure to hug and kiss each one of them... Riley LOVES to give kisses!
But as tired as she was she did NOT want to go to bed. There was way too much excitement going on and she knew this time she really would be missing out on a party if she went to bed. It took a while but we managed to settle her down and keep the party alive...
The next morning Riley woke up so happy to find out that it all really wasn't a dream. She was super happy to jump right on one left over guest from the party. (Riley's new bean bag chair from the Fogelson's. They had the rhyme Little Miss Muffet... so I guess this is Riley's new TUFFET! Hey thats a great name for her new friend... Meet Tuffet!)
