We had Noelle’s birthday party at the carousel with all her little friends and our family!

Noelle had so much fun hanging out with everyone at the party!

Noelle kept running around showing everyone her clock saying, "I made it!" "I made it!"  I’m so glad we had a craft – I think the kids really liked it!  Noelle blowing out her candles! (Sam’s helping in the bottom right corner – so cute!)

Noelle’s hand had the "short hands" and Mommy’s hands had the "long hands." 

Aunt Michele brought Noelle earrings to wear, and they were a hit!  Noelle showed them to everyone all day (she kept them on too)!

Noelle’s horsey from her parents!

Mama Kay Kay with her boys!

Saturday night the Ponds, Eberts, and Banks families went to Gnisner Farms to pick strawberries.  It was such a beautiful evening, and we all had a ball!

Noelle loves to mother Drew and is always giving him hugs and kisses.

Noelle just couldn’t wait to dig into her juicy red berries!

 

 

Our good friends Nancy and Lisa sent Noelle all sorts of birthday goodies (she loved everything girls!!!) and Polly sent a special talking Cinderella card.  Cousin Olen, Linda, and Brittany sent a new silver bracelet.  We have such wonderful friends and family in our lives!

It’s a wrap!

Our little girl is 2 years old today!  Noelle is all that is good, and the joy she has given us over the past two years has been more than we’ve known in all our lives!  Happy birthday, sweet Noelle!

    

 

 

   

 

Noelle’s crafts this week… we did foam stickers, markers, nature walks, glue, and play-doh.  Noelle loves art!

  

We had such a blast at story time today.  Mrs. Jacobs had all sorts of songs, crafts, and books for the kids.  She is so wonderful and even surprised them at the end with a May pole!

 

Noelle’s favorite songs were Old McDonald, The Farmer and the Dale, and Thumbkin.

Noelle and Jillian big time hugging!

 

 

Afterward, we got Sonic and had a picnic at the park.
