Our day started around 3:00 this morning. Nolan came in our room...I can't remember what he came in for in the first place. One of the times when I was a little more awake he said his room "looked a little unusual." I thought, huh? So, I got out of bed and walked him to his room. He seemed a little scared. His night light hadn't been on. I turned on his light. There were streamers I had hung from his door upon his request. :) I think he thought they were spiders or something. Once he saw what they really were, he went back to bed. I think he woke me up a couple more times, but I don't really remember.
So, he must have finally fell back asleep cuz he didn't actually wake back up until after 8:00 or so. :P
Nolan was excited to have a birthday party with family and friends today! Every year previous we have had a party with family, but this is pretty much the first year we've invited friends. Nolan has lots of fun kids in primary with him. Up until a couple of hours before the party, I thought only 3 or 4 kids would be able to come. Which would have been fine. Then, I got a couple of last minute calls saying, they had just checked the mail and found the invitation, etc etc. :) Then, we thought, hmmm, well maybe these people didn't check their mail either. So, we called them. They hadn't. So, it went from being a small party to quite a large party. At one point I counted at least 12 kids. The more the merrier, right? Lots of siblings and parents came to stay as well.
Nolan wanted a banana for breakfast. And that was it. I think he was a little excited. What do you think?
It's not a party without playing, "Doggy, doggy, who has the bone."
Annika was very attached to Grandma today. I think she's finally figured out who she is! :)
We had the party at the catering so we could have the kids make their own personal pizzas. It was nice to have lots of oven space.
Recognize this pinata? We finally got to use it! Someone gave it to Nolan at that Penn Valley craft fair thing a few months ago. The kids went on a treasure hunt and the pinata was the treasure. Rather than having candy fly all over the place, I put the same amount in each little bag before sticking it in the pinata.
I missed the actual shot where Nolan blew out his candle since I couldn't find the camera. But, he was happy to pretend to do it again! Nolan decorated his cake with oreo bits.
Nolan received many nice presents.
The kids had fun with these sticky hand things.
This picture below makes me laugh. You can see the green sticky hand flingin around Nolan. :)
Happy Birthday Nolan! We love you!
