One, Two, THREE!

On Thursday, my baby girl turned three. Well according to her she is a big girl now, not a baby. I try to explain to her she will always be my baby but that seems lost on her. Ellie won't go to the doctor til the end of the month so I'll post then about her stats and milestones but just wanted to document our many celebrations a bit here! 

First there was the bowling party with friends in late July. Then daycare had a little party for her on Wednesday complete with cupcakes, balloons, and a trip to Six Flags!

Then Thursday morning we had a lovely birthday breakfast before opening her gifts from Mom and Dad, Grandma Evans, and Great Grandma Reed. Noelle loves flowers and her favorite color is yellow, hence the sunflowers. Mom and Dad are no fun and got Ellie practical gifts like the new pig hamper below and her baseball glove. Fun stuff and lots of clothes are what grandparents and great grandma's are for!

On Friday we had Noelle's fourth, and last, birthday celebration of the year! She got her wagon, some My Little Ponies (yes, they are cool again!) and the awesome necklace she is sporting below!

And best of all, we had ice cream cake. Chocolate ice cream cake. I'm not sure who was more excited - Noelle or me - but either way, it was a great end to almost a month of celebration!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl! We love you!
