Riley's First Birthday

I read somewhere about a family tradition where the parents take a picture of the kids first thing in the morning each year on their birthdays. What a cool gift to have for your kids when they get ready to leave for college. So, I copied their great idea...adorable early morning mugshot below.TJ and I both stayed home to hang out with the kangaroo for her actual birthday. We went to Powell Gardens, a botanical garden that featuring a "Big Bugs" display where the artist built giant bug sculptures into the plant life. It rained on us and cut our trip short, but we still had a nice time and Riley got to see some geese.
After dinner, we gave her the first of her birthday cakes, and yes, the event was as spectacular as I'd imagined. Once she got her hands in it, and a few bites into her mouth, the rest of it didn't stand a chance. Next stop, the bathtub.
