Painting the day away

What form!

Circle hopscotch

Legwarmers!

Great Grandma Belliveau made Riley her very own leg warmers to wear to ballet through the winter. Riley had to test them out at home, yep they work perfect for the prima ballerina.

Belliveau Grandparents

Because we only make it up to NY twice a year, we make sure we fit as much family as possible. We had a wonderful afternoon with my grandparents, Riley had a great time filling them in on her busy world as a 4 year old.

Pizza Night

One of Riley's favorite dinners at Grandma & Grandpas house is homemade pizza. She will start talking about making pizza with Grandma a week before we drive up there, and it is always a wonderful, fun, messy meal!

Test run

It was cold out, but this did not stop RIley from testing her new scooter out. Since we did not have a white Christmas, we found other things to keep us busy outside.

Christmas with the Lyles

A very intense coloring session with great Grandma

All the boys were a wonderful audience for Riley while she opened her gifts

Great Grandpa & Grandma sure know how to find the perfect toy for Riley, this mermaid will be her best bath buddy from now on.

Riley beautiful dress was a special gift from Grandma Sherri, she is so lucky to have such wonderful Grandma's.

Aunt Lauren might have a future stamping partner, but for now I think Riley was really enjoying being the teacher and "helping" Colin learn the finer points of stamping, and color pencils

Merry Christmas!

Every 4 year old needs to always know what time it is :)

Riley loved her seriously cool gift from uncle Trevor & aunt Brittany!

Riley managed to open the rest of her gifts while staying in the sleeping bag.

Not sure how Santa possibly fit this in his sleigh, but this was the highlight of Christmas morning for miss Riley.

Ready for Santa!

Cookies,check! Stocking, check, check! Yep ready for Santa.

Official Santa cookies

As soon as we got to Grandpa & Grandma's house, Riley wanted to make her cookies to leave out for Santa.
