Tuesday evening we celebrated Elle's 4th birthday with my parents and T's parents. After goofing on Colin's cake and trying to add his name to a generic store decorated cake, I decided to spend a little more to get a nicer cake (maybe you noticed there were no pictures of Colin's decorated cake...that was why). I can sew clothing for the kids, but I'll leave the cake decorating to the professionals!! Besides, how could I possibly make icing that pink! When I picked it up at the store my first thought was it was a little bright and my second thought was it didn't matter, my birthday girl would love it!
My favorite part of the evening (well, second to the yummy cake) was a moment shared between Quintin and Elle. He had told me earlier that he wanted to make cards for his grandparents that were coming out and I suggested he make a card for Elle (sorry grandparents, I know how much you love his cards!) As I was busy with dishes and getting ready for company, Quintin made and wrapped a present for her. I knew this was going to be something I needed to capture.
Yep! Two paper airplanes! And one is pink - PERFECT!!! (Our son does not typically wear a belt with sweatpants, but he was playing a ninja, pirate, storm trooper or detective that evening!!)
It was a wonderful evening of cake and coffee pepsi followed by watching Char*lie Brown...on the floor.
More on that later....
We love you Noelle!!!

You are raising some amazing children. It is a special young man to be so loving and creative to his sister.
Momma and Poppa have much to be proud of-that is for sure!

YOUR KIDS ARE SO SWEET!
Love the paper airplanes. Very thoughtful.
Awww...what sweet kids you have!
WOW! I had no idea that her real name was Noelle!
VERY cute! And I say that there's never enough pink for the lone girl! WHat a sweet brother - I love moments like that....
I am swimming in boxes and crafts and half put up decorations and baking products. It doesn't help the 'joy' around here so I'm gonna take a bit this weekend and scoop it all away and be done with it so we can relax next week. At least the shopping is done.... But as far as how I'm going to avoid the cookies, I still don't know! :-P
Blessings,
Andrea

If we lived closer we could trade sewing projects for birthday cakes... that would be such a good deal! Thinking about moving any time soon???
Your kids are growing up so fast! I'm glad Elle had a happy birthday!
Happy Belated Bday Elle.
