If Noelle could have it her way, she would wear her swimming suit 24/7 and never take it off – particularly, her cherry swimsuit.  So… the minute we pulled into the wide open spaces of East Texas, she insisted on putting on her swimsuit. 

Drew put on his too, and the kids were now ready to celebrate in style!  Aunt Michele made delicious birthday cupcakes for Noelle, complete with these really cool crunchy Japanese sprinkles.  How thoughtful!

Michele heard somewhere that if you get the kids to say "Monkey" instead of "Cheese" you can catch them smiling while making the "key" sound.  This all sounds great in theory, however, I kept catching them saying the "Mon" part of the word!

The Eberts gave Noelle tons of princess and fairy gear (super cool shirts, cups, panties, stickers, etc) and Poppa and Rara gave Noelle a princess backpack with a princess sleeping bag inside.  Cool!

Noelle had a great time celebrating her birthday in Jacksonville!
