Happy Birthday, Riley!

Our boy is turning 14 on November 5th!! We had a few friends come over on the 1st to help him celebrate. Besides helium balloons, which Riley insisted on letting fly free (besides a few he reserved for sucking up the helium, and letting dear little Sian take one home), there were blown up balloons all over the floor. The kids had a great time "bopping" each other with the balloons. Riley wanted chocolate cake, so I made my recipe for "Chocolate Cake to the Max", which I swear weighed about 10 pounds it's so dense! At the end of the day, our Shiny boy gave a big sigh and said, "What a fun-filled day!"
