Noelle is on a dinner/movie date with Kay Kay and Grandpapa tonight.  I learned a few new hair styling tricks at Sweet and Sassy last weekend and wanted to try them out.  She made me take the swirls out because she couldn’t wear her headband with them too, but she kept it half-up.  Hoping she’ll let me play around more in the future!

Thanks for the date, Kay Kay and Grandpapa!  I know Noelle is having so much fun!

The girls and I had so much fun playing with friends at Carrie’s.

The sand table was a big hit!

Thanks for having us over Ethan (and Kinsey)!!!

This was our sweet Anna Kate when it was time to leave.

Noelle had her hands on her hips shaking her head.  Too funny, girls!  (Yes, Noelle had two headbands on… she said they looked fancy that way and that it was “her style”!)

Noelle has been such a good girl that she got to open one of her Christmas presents early.  The Tag is great, and she’s starting to get the hang of reading!

She’s also enjoying blue eye shadow and loving on her “cutie” as she calls Anna Kate.

Colbey had such a fun birthday party at Sweet & Sassy last weekend!

Getting nails done!

Strike a pose during the dance party!

Lots of dancing!

Limbo boa style!

Each girl got crowned a princess with an official Princess Certificate.  Isn’t this place a riot; it’s a dream land for little girls, that’s for sure!

Yay Colbey!

They got the cutest little goodie bags!  Noelle’s favorite part was the cell phone with eye shadow inside, and the lip gloss, and the star pen, and the rhinestone ring; well, she loved it all!

And she’s out!  On the way home… Noelle said, “This was the best day of my whole life.  I got all I ever wanted.”  Wow, and it wasn’t even her birthday! 

Thanks Colbey for such a fun day!  Happy Birthday!!!

We loved having all our friends from church over last week to celebrate Christmas!

Megan and Anna Kate and Noelle sporting the outfit of her choice along with the necklace she made at school!

Lovin’ all the baby action!

Scott, Phil, Mike & Sam

We had bundles of cuteness at our house tonight!!!

Anna Kate does not like to take professional pictures indoors at all.  The lights and curtains scare her, so I didn’t get enough pictures for her scrapbook from Halloween.

We had so much fun playing “dress-up” and getting a few more bumblebee pics!

Love you little bumble bee of 2010!

Here’s one last hoorah to our home grown pumpkin, now completely orange!!! 

Noelle wanted to make a jack-o-lantern out of it so badly, so we did it!

Merry Christmas, little pumpkin!  Your appearance was grand!

These made me laugh out loud!

Sweet William (the cowboy) and his family lost their house last weekend to fire.  He is Noelle’s best little school buddy, and their little hearts are hurting.

Noelle said he has a monkey nap mat, so we got him a monkey pillow pet to match; then she worried whether or not he still had his nap mat.  So sad!  She also colored him a picture and gave him the coveted “certificates” that all the kids want from the treasure chest that she won at school. 

She is going to ask him today, “What is the thing you miss the most that you lost in the fire?” and we can hopefully get it for him!  That was Corbin Ziemke’s idea!

Noelle is always up to something on the fashion front, busy creating her own unique style!    She told me yesterday that if she had a stepmother (thanks to all the Disney princesses we know what that is), she wouldn’t buy her classy things.  So funny!
