Happy 4th Birthday, Riley Doodle!

It is hard to believe that Riley is now 4 years old. Oh, how the time flies by!  Riley is a little chatterbox, very smart, very independent, and a happy child. She always has a smile on her face and everyone just adores her. We celebrated Reagan's birthday over a 2 week span, so Riley expected pretty much the same. We lucked out and only had to celebrate it over a couple days ... but it was all the same to her. 



She celebrated her birthday at her preschool, and was so excited to get her turn to have the Birthday flag, be the line leader, and eat cupcakes in her honor.


Her "Hello Kitty" cupcakes ... and yes, there are 30! We ate them for days!


Wearing her birthday crown at school


Yummy Cupcakes!


Riley got her first Fed Ex package from Grandpa Joe and she was so excited to open it.



All her presents!


We had some friends come over for dinner to help eat some of the cupcakes. 



More sugar!


On Saturday, we took Riley to Disney World to celebrate some more. Her big surprise was to get a Pirate Makeover.


First, they got cute Pirate Empress outfits and got to spin the Captain's Wheel to discover what their pirate names were going to be.


Reagan spinning for her pirate name.


Meet "Emily Burnsteel" and "Rachel Calicocash"


"Rachel Calicocash" aka Riley getting her empress makeover ... eyes


cheeks ...


and fitted with her very own bandana, earring, and eye patch.

Happy Birthday Pirate Empress "Rachel Calicocash"!


"Emily Burnsteel" aka Reagan getting her makeover.


WOW! Look at her eyes!

Next, they got their swords ...


and they were sent into the secret room, but we are not allowed to talk about the secret room! It is a surprise for future pirates. 


"Rachel Calicocash" hooked herself a mommy!


The Posti Pirate Family ... we had such a fun time becoming pirates.


My favorite picture ... Riley is making her "Arrrgh" face which she said "Arrrgh" to every person we passed.
