Two Sundays ago we celebrated our Mimi!
Mimi's day started with a bright and early Happy Birthday serenade - the kids belting it out while I played the piano - no one really on the same tune or beat. Then we went to church and listened to another great sermon by Pastor Brian.
From there we headed over the Hawthorne Bridge (one of our favorites!) and into the Hawthorne district where we hit up Clever Cycles - a super bike shop. Madison had the task of picking out a new helmet. Of course, we went with a Nut Case (www.nutcasehelmets.com), since we "Love our Brain," they are just plain fun, and locally made. That makes 3 of the 5 Riley clan Nut Case donners. After being swayed by each brother, her daddy, her mimi and her mommy, Madi settled on a cute little pink flower one - pictured below.

Said new helmet followed us to The Laughing Labrador for lunch (despite us not being on a bike).
Then, home for nap time!! (Yes, we still impose nap time. every. single. day). After nap, Gavin and I took the Hooptie to the Vegan Bakery and picked up some special bday treats. Gavin chatted with me the whole time. How I cherish the one-on-one.
After a delicious dinner and scrumptious treats we left the kiddos with Ms. Emily (yippie!) and took off to the theater - Mimi's birthday surprise!
We watched the show "Our Town." And this is the 'set'. We gave it a unanimous thumbs up!!
Happy Birthday Mimi!! We love you!
