Oh, Precious Noelle!!!! We had such a fun time celebrating you today. It is hard to believe that you are already 8, yet you are definitely living into the greatness of 8!
Your day started with donuts per your request.
You and Kit dressed in a new birthday outfit from Mimi & Pa -
You opened your gifts before Daddy went to work. You were super excited to get roller blades, pads, and a helmet!! You've been asking for roller blades since you tried your hand at skating in December at a birthday party.
New shoes from Grandma & Granddad -
You definitely wanted to give the 'blades a try before Daddy left for work, so you got geared up and hit the driveway. You're pretty fierce about wanting to do things on your own, but you let Dad give you a hand for a bit.
While Daddy worked, we played! We went to WOW Children's Museum and played -
We ate lunch out and then went to see Moana in the theater. We were nearly the only people there!
And for dinner, you followed suit for our recent birthdays and chose sushi! We were so excited that you got the sushi ship for your 8th birthday! How fun!!
You stuck with chocolate sheet cake for dessert with nuts just on the edges -
The following day, we headed to Kilgore Skateland to test out those roller blades and give the rest of the family a chance to skate. All 3 kiddos took great strides in skating ability. Noelle, you mostly wanted to be free to zoom around on your own - and you did a great job!!
Precious Noelle - What a delight and adventure you are! It is one of the greatest joys of my life to watch you grow up into the girl God has made you to be. You are passionate and emotional, super smart and creative, compassionate and adventurous, and your art keeps amazing us! You have a great laugh, a soft heart and a spunky spirit. You still surprise people once they get to know you. Your shy exterior gives way to a feisty, fun little lady once people get to know you! We loved having a few days to focus on celebrating YOU and look forward to watching your great year of 8! We love you!!
