Macy's Parade-The beginning of Thanksgiving

Riley really enjoyed the parade this year now that he knows a lot of the characters






Excited for big bird



Modeling his turkey hat he made at daycare



Dancing to Cee Lo


Helping (AKA getting in the way) of Pops fixing the back door

Riley gets a big boy bed

So Riley suddenly learned how to get out of his crib...at 2 in the morning...in about 2 seconds flat! We had no choice but to make the switch to the big boy bed


We got him new Cars bedding to make it a positive thing he was excited about



He helped make the bed even



Testing it out for comfiness


The final product


Riley realized pretty fast how fun it was to jump on the bed



He is excited about it now. Cross your fingers it continues for tonight!

Vet School Homecoming Celebration

Santa's arrival by helicopter

We took Riley to the Avenues Mall for Santa's arrival via helicopter


They had "snow" which was just soap bubbles blown into the air






Eagerly awaiting


He just kept saying "Santa, santa" over and over again



The helicopter finally arrived and Riley was VERY excited!




Fireworks after Santa

Trick or Treat!!

Riley was Superman for Halloween this year. We went over to the Bartas to trick-or-treat with other kids.



The gaggle of trick-or-treaters!


Riley walked mainly with Cinderella (Allison) and I think she really made it more fun for him. He wasn't scared at all!


He walked right up to the front doors with a death grip on his pumpkin. I don't think he had any idea what he was getting, he just knew he wanted it!
