noah is nine!

 today is noah's birthday

for breakfast he requested chocolate chip pancakes

then he went to school and tennis club

(michael and i went to watch tennis club today)

and came home for a nice dinner

we had garlic chicken farfalle, green beans, cantaloupe, texas toast and strawberry lemonade

noah said it was the best dinner ever

 then we let him open his presents

 he loved reading what his grandparents wrote in their cards to him

and he wants to save his money from each of them

he just finished the 4th harry potter a day or two ago

so it was perfect timing to get numbers 5 and 6 from michael's parents

 we got him a cap gun, whoopee cushion, hex shark, lego board, minecraft legos, a book he wanted,

a stomp rocket and a skateboard

he was super stoked about everything

especially the skateboard

 he had to go try it out

 then it was time for cake

he really wanted an ice cream cake

so i surprised him with this mint oreo cake from dairy queen

 the kids don't have school tomorrow

so we're letting them stay up late watching the latest harry potter noah read

(a reward for reading each book is getting to watch the movie after)

and having a sleepover in the playroom

 with popcorn and candy, of course

we are so proud of the boy noah is

he is a great big brother

and super sweet boy

we just wish he would stop growing so fast!
