I had to blog about Riley's birthday! He's 11 years old now and turning into a nice young man. :o) We had a small family party with just us and Grandma Violet made him a Bart Simpson cake which made us all smile! She actually bought a Simpson's magazine and copied a pic of Bart since she couldn't find any in the store.....way to go Grandma! She always does a great job with all the kids' cakes and even made one for me with a frog on it. :o)
Riley had a nice birthday and got a skateboard, a few books, money and a few new game cube games. Mike and I still owe him a pair of roller blades since this is what he wanted from us but we couldn't find his size. I better get him some before it snows so he can enjoy them for a little bit!
How do you like the big purple candle? Of course none of us remembered to buy candles so we had to use a lavender scented votive which I found in the cupboard.....LOL, Riley didn't mind and thought it was quite funny!
