Riley turned 10 this year, on August 30. He's officially double digits! I can hardly believe it.
He didn't want a big party, opting instead to have two small celebrations with his friends. We invited the Krewe over after school the Friday before his birthday, and everyone had such a fun time. They played inside and out for almost 5 hours.
Grandma and Grandpa came over the next day to give Riley his birthday presents. He loved the little ceramic turtle and LEGO set he got from them. Oh, and there was more ice cream.
On the morning of his birthday, Riley was surprised with balloons and signs on the landing when he came downstairs. After his birthday breakfast, he Zoomed with QP and James, who sent his gift all the way from France. (Everything they sent had a doubles theme in honoring of him finally being double digits. So cute.) Then he had his two best guy friends, Arav and Finn, over that afternoon. They played LEGOs and the Switch, ran around outside, and celebrated with cookies and, yes, more ice cream.
We went to dinner at Nola and Nopsi's house the night of his birthday, and the celebration continued. More cards, gifts, signs, and even more ice cream. Nopsi also presented me with an incredible surprise gift: a series of sketches that he did of the birthday boy. So very special.
Happy Happy Birthday, my sweet Riley-bean. I love you all the time!
