To Infinity and Beyond!



Today we celebrated Riley's FIFTH birthday! His actual birthday is on Monday, but we had a great time today celebrating with my immediate family and a couple close friends who are like family :). He chose a Buzz Lightyear/Toy Story theme this year, which was a lot of fun!



I used the same giant cupcake mold I used for Naomi's birthday cake and turned it into a Buzz Rocket Ship and then made alien cupcakes to go with it. The frosting was so goopey and runny, but I think Riley was happy with it :).









My grandparents came, and my brother Josh drove into town for the weekend.



Got some cute shots of Grammy with Riley and Naomi


My girly wanted us to take more photos (which is rare for her!)






We got an updated shot of the four generations of girls!



Auntie Karen was there too! (we missed you Auntie Ally!)






Josh and I always have fun when he's in town...




The littles, Elijah and Anyah, having a good time too :)














The kids love to play together!




The grown ups played with their toys too :)


Friends!














Elijah loved the balloons!



I made up game boards and we played Toy Story Bingo! Fun!











(the kids all got Toy Story Pez!)




Oh, and Turkish came to the party too! :)






Riley had fun opening his presents! Thanks to everyone for your thoughtfulness and generosity!



















Singing "Happy Birthday!"












Cake!





Riley was so excited about his presents he didn't even eat the cake until after the party! Mia and Riley were so cute looking at the lego box together :).


Coloring Toy Story pictures and building legos!







And we finished the party by watching Toy Story!








We had such a fun day celebrating Riley! Hard to believe on Monday it will be 5 years since he entered the world and changed our lives forever. And on Wednesday he'll be starting kindergarten!



We love you, Riley! Happy Birthday sweet boy!
