Happy Birthday Rylee!

Rylee just turned five this week. She has been counting down the months, then weeks, then days. The day finally arrived. She was wired. She got to take treats to her kindergarten class and celebrate with her classmates. I slipped in a little surprise for Rylee to see after school. She has been riding her scooter to and from school and she thought it was time for an updated scooter (a faster one-as if she didn't go fast enough). So Rylee's brothers and I tied a bow, some balloons and a "happy birthday" sign on a new pink scooter and left it by the kindergarten door. She beamed with delight as she rode it home that afternoon. That evening we went to the "High School Musical" play that is in town right now. The show is Rylee's favorite. She knows all the words and dances. While watching the play, she and her little friend were singing the songs and bouncing in their seats. Who knew Troy Bolton was going to be a 5-year olds' icon. Her "real" birthday was on Thursday when she had her party. She invited ten friends to bring their scooters and celebrate with her at Classic Skating. What a hoot. We had a good time eating pizza and cupcakes and cruzin around the skating rink. You can see her pics on the below slide show.
