10 year old Noelle!

Noelle had a birthday -shout hooray!! Since she was turning 10 (an even year) she got to have a friend birthday party. She decided on a Pink Party - where everything was pink and girly. We made pink flower clips for the girls hair, a pink sparkly snowflake Christmas tree decoration and played with pink nail polish and pink lip gloss.

Noelle is such a friendly person, we had all the different friend groups there: friends from school, from church and from the neighborhood. Tons of fun girl time!
Here are all the girls among the chaotic mess of birthday fun!
(One weird side note: One of the friends from school, that I didn't know, showed up with her 4 and 6 year old brother and sister. The dad had dropped them all off for us to babysit/party with. The little boy kept running up and down the stairs and pounding on the piano, and I didn't even know his name to yell at him, or his parents name or number to call them and yell at them. Is that weird?)

Thanks for partying girls!
Here's some fun facts about Noelle:

All she wanted for Christmas or her birthday this year was clothes, P.J.'s and accessories.

She thinks she's going through a growth spurt right now, because all she wants to do is sleep and eat. Growing which way?

She has a special friend that's a boy (she promises that is all he is) that gave her a jeweled dog necklace for her birthday.

She loves to plan and organize. She just got a year planner and penciled in every body's birthdays and will tell us on command how many days until our birthday and what day it's on.

She loves to pay for things with her own money. She says it makes her feel all grown up.

She's a great sister! She's Marissa's best friend that will go along with whatever she says. She also is a great big sister to her little sissies, and helps them feel important and plays with them.

We love our 10 year old Belles!
