What a little gentleman!

I couldn’t believe this pic – we had so much fun with the Christian family last night – thanks for having us over guys!

The girls got to bounce in the bounce house until all the guests arrived.

Then they went into the dressing room to change into their tea party dressy dresses… all the girls picked out the same dress – that was really sweet!

This is a picture of Noelle getting her make-up put on… haha… she was standing in the chair and leaning forward – she was so into the whole event!

Giving that cheesy grin once she was finished!

Noelle and the birthday girl after they picked out their jewelry!  Ananya is such a sweetheart!  She loves and cares for Noelle so much!

Ananya’s first role as princess was to dub her guests as princesses.  Noelle was patiently waiting for her turn.

And she’s up – here’s Noelle becoming a princess.

Mommy and Noelle after the crowning ceremony – haha!

Next was the tea party – each little girl had their own tea pot and cup.  The party host read “How to Become a Princess” to the girls.  Noelle listened much better to her than at home!  She was so into everything!

Eating birthday cake…

Ananya heads up the “princess parade.”

Anika hugging Noelle…

Daddy and Noelle at the after party.  We had one of the most fun days of our lives – we’ll never forget Noelle’s first tea party!

Noelle went to Ananya’s 4th birthday party this weekend at Chelsea’s Tearoom and Boutique.  We’ll post pics of the party soon!

Noelle waving “hi” to Zane…

One more good-bye kiss…

As most of you know, Noelle is a chatter box.  Last night, we were over at Jon and Heather’s and Heather taught her how to say “happy.”  She said it over and over.  It was really cute!  Jon taught her how to sign “Beautiful girl.”  It was so sweet to see her so engaged with Jon.  They are still painting this week, but Heather is moving in this weekend.  We can’t wait for them to be our neighbors!!!  Thanks for the tutorials guys!

Drew and Noelle had so much fun getting messy creating their first masterpiece together.

When the Eberts were here last month we made an apron for Poppa Doc for Father’s Day. 

Peek-a-boo – Drew is such a cute little flirt!

Our little Picasso!

Noelle’s directing Drew for their next pose.

I love how they are both so interested in each other.

Noelle holding Drew’s hand.

Our finished product.  Poppa Doc doesn’t want to wear it because it is too special.  Can you tell whose feet and hands are whose?  Crazy considering Drew is 7 months younger than Noelle!

Noelle proofreading her card for Dad!

“My dad is the best!”

Here ya go, “My”ke!  I LOVE YOU DADDY!!!

Noelle LOVES the water! 

Fishy Bekah swims up to say hello!

Noelle decided to pop a squat – she was splashing and having the time of her life – we love watching her in the water.

Go for it – get it Elley…

Mrs. Sharon and Noelle were trying on sunglasses while Mike, Bekah, Toria, and Mo were having a synchronized swimming contest (I wish we had gotten that on video).  Mike and Bekah’s “metamorphosis of a butterfly” takes home the prize in my book – you guys were really creative!

Noelle’s got the sunglasses thing down – well, almost…

Thanks for such a great night guys!  We had so much fun and the wraps (note: all the lettuce in the wraps was from the Prince garden) were a huge hit with the Ponds!!!
