Thank you God, over and over again, for our little girls!

Well, I tried to keep my birthday under wraps this year, it being a milestone and all, but Rara wouldn’t let it go by without a little hoop-la on the home front.  Mike made my big day super special, and Noelle has been loving blowing out my candles with me!  The night before my birthday, Noelle said, “I feel sorry for you tomorrow!”  I said, “Why?”  and she proceeded to say, “because you’re turning old!”  Ha!  Now it’s getting to the good part! 

When we got to J’ville, our first stop was the dentist!

Dad’s office is built over a creek… really relaxes people, and they get to see interesting wildlife from time to time.  I’ve always been proud of this cool concept for his office.

I asked Noelle to “act” scared… lol!

More “acting”…

Time to get the job done!

Anna Kate was interested!  Her time is coming soon!

THANKS POPPA (and Meredith and Pam and Rara)!!!

Merry Christmas to all!

Love, The Pond Family

Noelle at 20 mos. and Anna Kate at 21 mos.  The biggest difference is the length of their hair.  They are definitely sisters! 

Dressing up in this costume is cliché for Anna Kate because this is her state of being!

WE LOVE YOU, LITTLE ANGEL!!!

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.
