We started a new tradition. Once the soon-to-be birthday kid is asleep Jeff and I fill their floor full of balloons for when they wake up on the morning. Rilynn LOVED it! She ran into our room and asked Jeff how those balloons got there. When I told her they were there for her birthday, she shrieked and ran back into her room to play in them. 
For her birthday we met some of our new friends at the lake. We had picnics, played, and shared cupcakes. Most of the kids, Rilynn included, just ate the frosting, so we decided next time, forget the cupcakes...just bring a tub o frosting and some spoons!
I made her a barbie cake. She has just newly discovered Barbie's at a friends house and she is loving them. The cake turned out okay, but our house was so hot that the frosting started to melt and poor Barbie had lost most of her skirt by the end of the night. It didn't matter though, Rilynn was mostly excited about having candles-which incidentally started to melt Barbie's hand (poor Barbie had a rough night!)
Rilynn got a few princess things (her other newly discovered passion) and she finally got her own guitar! She is officially ready to start her own rock band now.
Rilynn's tradition held true this year...she got a new nail polish and her daddy did his annual painting of the nails. Okay, really...does it get any cuter?!
Happy Birthday Rilynn. We love you sooo very much!
