Best Weekend Ever

Tomorrow Madi, Riley and I will be going to church from 8-12.  We'll be packaging food for a group called Numana.  They deliver food/water to starving people in Africa.  It's awesome that it's something that the girls can do with me.  Gives all of us a chance to give some of our time to give to others.  Great lesson for sure.  And should be a lot of fun!!

On Sunday, we'll be celebrating Riley's birthday.  Very low-key.  No birthday party with friends this year.  She'll bring donuts for her class on Wednesday which will be fun!  Instead we're basing the birthday on the book "Tea for Ruby."  Ruby is invited to have tea with the Queen.  The Queen sends her an invitation and then Ruby arrives to find that the Queen is Grandma!

So my mom sent her an invitation in the mail to the princesses (Riley and Madi) inviting them to tea with her.  The four of us will go down to the American Girl store to have lunch there.  And then Riley can pick out her first American Girl Doll.  She has no idea and it should be lots of fun!  (not to mention more economical than the parties we looked into at other places... yikes!)

Very much looking forward to this weekend!!  And can't believe Riley will be 5 on Wednesday.
