We did have a kid party for her school friends, and we opted to have it at a make-your-own pottery place. The kids had a great time painting their own creations and laughing with each other. We also asked the kids and their parents to donate food to the local food pantry, just like we did last year. A week after the party, we took all the food to the food pantry, and we donated more than 120 pounds of food! There were high school kids there helping out, and several of them commented to Riley that it was such a wonderful thing she did by asking for food from her friends. I hope she realizes that what she's doing helps so many.

More painting.
And more painting. 
Then there was cake. All over his face. A few days later, Grandma headed out to celebrate Riley's big day. That was followed by Riley's actual birthday, where we had a meal of her choosing and headed out for ice cream. Then Papa and Nana came out a few days later to cap off the week-long celebration. It's crazy to think that tiny little girl is now a sassy 7 year old!
