Riley's 6th Birthday

Riley turned six one week ago today. I would say he had a pretty good day...and night too. During the day, I surprized him with a family picnic at the marina on base. We went there to play at the Pirate Ship Playground, but little did he know that there was a cooler full of picnic food and cupcakes for his Birthday and his birthday gift. Daddy was at RMC watching the grad parade but joined us later for the picnic and some pictures.

Clayton left to Ottawa to pick up Connie, Greg, and Emily from the airport, while I manned the fort in anticipation of Riley's first sleepover. He invited four of his friends over for cake, a movie and a sleepover. So, there I was by myself with six over-excited BOYS, who were loud, rambunctious, but overall pretty good. Nothing got broken, but I did get a little concerned when I saw the chandelier above the table swinging from side to side with boys on either end pushing it. The sleepover went over really well and as expected some kids stayed up really late. Riley needed a super huge nap on Saturday afternoon. It was all good fun and really exciting for Riley.

So, now Connie, Greg and Emily are here and almost at the end of their vacation. It has been a great week. We didn't do anything too exciting, but rather just enjoyed each other's company. Here are some photos from Riley's Birthday.
