Saving Up

I have been all about saving up money. I ask people for money. I always ask Mommy and Daddy. I have been asking Gram for money. When I went to Aunt Sissy's house, she had a big bowl of money. I asked her for it. I'm not shy about it. It is cute when a 4 year old asks you for money. People always give it to me.

When Mommy or Daddy leave money on their dresser, I like to take it. Usually I will ask them if it is okay. But if I can get my hands on it the money ends up in my Wrigley bank.

Guess why I am saving up all of this money? Because I want to go to DISNEY WORLD! I heard that it takes a lot of money to go to Disney World and I want to go. So I have been saving and saving. Daddy says that we are going to so I need to make sure that I have enough money. I want to ride the roller coasters and see the princesses and eat candy.

So if you have some money that you don't want, you can give it to me. My Wrigley bank isn't full yet.

Princess Ball

Luci and me had a princess ball after Christmas. It was a while ago but here are some pictures that I thought you might like.


Daddy danced with us and threw us in the air! We let him dance with us but he was not dressed up for the ball.

The Sick House - Double Trouble

Last night, my tummy hurt. Then I started throwing up. When you are sick you get to sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed. So I was lying in bed with Mommy then Luci threw up in her bed. So then she came and got in bed with us. I had my garbage can on my side and Luci had her garbage can. And Mommy slept in the middle of us. We kept throwing up. It was not fun for anybody. Daddy laughed and said "this is insane!"

This morning, we were feeling better but we stayed home from Alice's house. Poppy came over to watch us. It was fun to spend time with him. He helped me work on my preschool book. We watched the Gnomeo & Juliet movie. And nobody threw up. So I think that we are ok now. I hope that we don't get sick anymore.

(Mommy and Daddy are hoping they are not next.)

Halftime Performance

I got to dance at the basketball game tonight with the big school girls. It was fun. I paid attention to the girls and tried to do all my moves at the right times. Mommy and Daddy told me not to look at them but to look at the girls. Gram and Poppy were there. And Tyler saw me dancing too. (I am the last one in the line)



We did a practice the last day and danced at the game tonight. You had to be 4 years old or bigger. I was about the littlest one there but I did good when Mommy left me at the dance practice. My friend Annabelle was there too so I knew somebody. It was like going to gymnastics but longer time. Gymnastics is fun but I think that I want to start doing some dancing too.

A Little Bit of Snow

There was a little bit of snow outside when we woke up. It wasn't enough to make a snow family. We need a lot more snow. But it was a enough snow to wear our snow boots today.

Riley's Christmas Day 2011

I must have been a good girl because Santa came and brought me presents. I was kind of bad sometimes the last couple of days so I didn't know. But he did come because I was asleep too. He brought me my La La Loopsy doll. Her name Berry Jars in Jam. That is a silly name but I guess she is a silly doll. I got a new Ariel doll and some Barbies too. I got a light up picture thing. You put the lights in the paper and it makes pictures. And Mommy made a cupcake blanket for me and Luci too. We have so much stuff, it was all over the room!


I got a lot of good clothes. I like getting clothes more than Luci. I got some dresses and jammies and a Smurfette shirt. And I got some Hello Kitty clothes too.

We spent most of Christmas at Gram's house. We opened presents with Landon and Aunt Sissy and Tyler and everybody. I got some Tinkerbell and Barbie stuff. I got some books that talk with Poppy's voice and Grandma's voice. Grandma and Tia came to visit us the next day after Christmas. And they brought some more presents for us.


It was a good Christmas. I asked Daddy how long until it is Christmas again. He told me about spring and summer before Christmas. That sounds like a really long time but I hope it comes soon.

Checking in with Santa Claus

We went to go see Santa so we could tell him what we want for Christmas. There was a really long line of people to see him. Mommy kept asking us if we would talk to Santa and take a picture. I was a little nervous at first but I told him that I wanted a La La Loopsy doll. He knew all about La La Loopsy.




I sat on his lap and took a picture but Luci wouldn't do it. She was scared of Santa. But he was really nice. Luci did go get a candy cane from Santa though. I guess Santa will know that she likes candy.
