Girl talk

I have so many pictures to post, but I want to spread it all out so you will keep coming back for more....
Riley's friend Reese turned one. Her parents are Nick and Meredith, our very good friends. Reese had a playground party in her neighborhood. And Riley was dying to be the first one there. You can bribe Miss Riley to do just about anything by saying "playground" (or Dora sticker or marshmallow). Needless to say, she helped clean the house and was in the car waiting for us to go at about 9am and we still had an hour to go until the party started....
Once we got there Riley was all over the playground, but when the pizza arrived (us Stephens always stop what we are doing to eat!) it was time to share some pizza with her buddy Taylor (her parents Ryan and Amy are also our good friends). I couldn't wait to take their picture eating together but as I got closer I could hear them having a conversation. It was hysterical. Dialogue from 2 year olds about the zoo. They were comparing notes about their own trips to the zoo. They were asking and answering questions from each other. It is so amazing to see them be little adults and chat about boo-boos and hippos at the zoo. Its so cute to see their social skills budding.
After the zoo chat, Riley was off to the playground again and then topped the day off with a cupcake and her first pop-ice popsicle. She loved it! Needless to say she had a huge nap after the party. Happy birthday Reese and thanks for inviting us!
