noah is ten!

noah bear turned 10 yesterday

a few days ago we let him look through his special box

look at him holding up the first piece of clothing he ever wore in the hospital when he was born

 michael snuck in for one last picture before noah turned 10

 for breakfast he asked for cookie crisp :)

 i took him subway for lunch 

he happened to be sitting next to katie, a girl he's had a crush on since last year

it was fun to visit him for lunch and see how it all goes every day

we told him a couple days ago if he moves all this bark he can earn $20 

so he spent a little time after school working on it :) 

 when noah got home we ate dinner (lasagna, green beans and cheddar biscuits 

then we watched noah open his presents

 olive made noah an origami dog

 he loved all of his presents so much

a couple of his very favorites were mario maker for the wii

 and this enormous lego set he's been dying to get but didn't think we would

 time for ice cream cake

 i stayed home and put henry to bed while michael took the kids to a lego store nearby

but they were closed

instead they got their faces painted by some women who were leaving from a birthday party

 today we threw noah a birthday party

 we ordered pizza and noah invited 10 or 12 friends over

 eating pizza

 the wonky pinata i made 

 the kids had a blast in the backyard, playing wii and legos

 henry really liked dipping carrots in ranch

 we sang to noah and then the kids ate cupcakes and ice cream

 opening presents

 pinata time

 this kids knocked it off it's string 

 so michael ripped it open and threw it in the air

the kids loved it

 as the kids left we gave them  a glow bracelet, a glow balloon and a candy

 it was a fun party 

super low key but everyone had a lot of fun 

noah loved it

and i'm so glad he had a good birthday

it's hard to believe he's 10 years old! 

he is the sweetest boy and we are so proud of the young man he is becoming

happy birthday, noah!!
