We had our traditional Pappasito’s birthday dinner tonight!  Noelle had a blast singing "Happy Birthday" along with us.  Her teachers said she sang along with the class as well at school today – what a sweet heart!

We sporadically decided to head up to DFW to welcome Michele and her little ones to the states after school today!  Noelle loved seeing Poppa & Rara on her birthday!

Drew & Noelle really hit it off – Noelle couldn’t stop hugging and kissing him, and Drew was too tired to object… although I think he was kind of lovin the lovin too!  🙂

Noelle didn’t want to get her clothes dirty, so it was an apron only cooking session!

Rara came to help Mommy this weekend, and Noelle helped her cook some great entrees.

We stayed close to home this weekend just to be on the safe side.  We all sorta got cabin fever although we were never bored.  Lots of chores and games to keep us busy! 

Happy 3rd Birthday, Noelle!!!

Yesterday afternoon when we got home from dance, Noelle went upstairs, put on her Fancy Nancy dress, and asked us if we could go to the "King’s Crown" (ice cream shop in the Fancy Nancy book).  We said, "Sure!" and called Kay Kay to meet us there for a birthday eve treat.

Wow – Noelle is such a big girl now.  We are so proud of our little scorpion! (In the 2nd picture Mike is a monkey and Noelle is a scorpion)

"How old are you, Noelle?"  "I’m 3 years old on May Fifth!"  I kid you not she asked me this morning that if it was May Fifth today, then where is Miss Fifth?  She kept saying, "Where is she Mommy?"  It was so random and cute.

Noelle is such a cute little nerdy ham!

"I think Drew would like this cake (cars)!"  She is always thinking about Drew.  We can’t wait to see him on THURSDAY!!!

Girly girl central – admiring Kay Kay’s jewelry and talking about birthday shopping while at an ice cream parlor – the perfect combination for Noelle!

These pictures pretty much sum up our little girl’s personality – sweet, fun, lively, friendly, kind, and down right cute!

We are so proud of you Noelle and love you very very much!  Thanks for making our day every day and loving us back.  You are a complete joy, and it’s so fun being ALIVE with you!!! 

*we had to postpone Noelle’s Tinkerbell birthday party as a precaution due to all the swine flu buzz.  She has to have Anna Kate there, and we just couldn’t take a chance.  We keep telling her Tinkerbell’s still on her way from Pixie Hollow… birthday party pics to come in 3 weeks!
