Happy 5th Birthday Noah!

I can't believe it is already here...how is Noah 5?  He is such a wonderful, adventure seeking boy who has been a blessing to our lives.  We have been taught so much by this bright, thoughtful boy.  It is certainly a privilege raising him and getting to see God develop him into a strong boy.  Mike and I are both so glad that God chose us for him!

Celebrating Noah's 5th Birthday

On Saturday we had Noah's 5th birthday party!  How is he 5 already (well not until Wed. actually)?  We are so blessed to be able to be the parents of this sweet, inquisitive boy.  Noah has added so many adventures and laughs to our lives; he's a wonderful big brother to his brother and sister and a good friend. 
The party was a Super Hero party (yes, again!) with Superman, Batman, and Spiderman.  He was very specific that he wanted a party with all 3 superheroes.  We also picked out a few cakes online that he liked and combined them together.  I must be crazy, it was a 3 tier cake and of course like most things, I couldn't just do a small version but probably certainly more than was needed.  The cake was 5 cake mixes put together, 3 bags of marshmallows, 2 (2lb) bags of powdered sugar, and 2 batches of butter cream frosting.  It turned out pretty well though and Noah loved it!
We also planned a couple of games and activities for Noah's party.  I wasn't sure how they would go over, we haven't done much in the way of organized activities at parties yet, the kids are always just happy playing and doing their own thing.  They did that on Saturday, but did enjoy the activities it seemed.  There was pin the emblem on Super Noah (each kid had their initial on an emblem), a Spiderman pinata, and bad guys who needed to be stomped (balloons with pictures of the various foes on them).  I'm so glad that Noah has such great friends here to help him celebrate!  We had a great morning and afternoon celebrating with them!
