Birthdays

 Our little Noel turned 5! I can't believe how fast she is growing! She requested special birthday cake pancakes in the morning on her birthday:)

 Happy girl!

Noel also requested pizza for her birthday dinner so I made Whole Wheat Pizza!

So we celebrated my brother Mikey's birthday this same evening along with Noel's because he was going to be out of town on his actual birthday and we wanted to be able to celebrate with him as well. So Mikey was there along with his girlfriend Caitlin and Chris, Kareena, Ty and Libby were there as well. 

Noel got some fun presents:)

 We then sang to the birthday girl. Her "special" cake was going to be made a few days later at her birthday party with her friends so we had some cupcakes that I made for Noel's preschool class that we had extra of to use for the family party.

Mikey's birthday cake was a giant almond. It's an inside joke. There's a particular comedian that jokes about almonds making milk and Mikey quotes that A LOT! So, he got an almond cake:)

 I love seeing his reactions!

 I made Noel a Castle Cake for her birthday. It was soooo easy and so fun. I loved seeing her face light up when she saw it in the morning after I finished it the night before.

 She had 3 little friends over for her Princess Themed Birthday party on Saturday. Noel and Sam helped me make our own pinata, using a small brown lunch bag, pink and purple streamers and tape. It was simple and fun and did it's job!

 They played pin the candle on the cupcake.

I made these cute little princess bags for each of the girls as goodie bags for them to take home after the party. 

They had donuts on a string.

 They decorated foam tiaras (all supplies from the wonderful dollar store!)

 Played doctor.

 Opened presents.

 And ate cake!

 Sam in the mean time just stayed away hung out with Morgan. Too many females in the house:)
