Norah's 3rd Birthday

Once upon a time in an enchanted village lived a little girl name Norah. One afternoon as she was napping in her bed there was a knock at the door. Who could it be? It was all her friends dressed up as princesses ready for a Par-tay! And so it began...


Princess Cake, thanks Steph!!


Princess Ariel and Princess Tiana waiting for the guests to arrive


Craft time...each princess made her own homemade tiaras for the party


Olivia, or should I say, Rapunzel, put her hair up while working hard on her tiara


Addy, also known as Rosetta, diligently worked hard on her tiara...


...or should I say her dad's tiara!


Princess Ariel was glowing with excitement


Norah Polzin, was bashful about showing off her Cinderella tiara


Aurora (Megan Polzin) gazed into the sunset dreaming of prince charming


All the princesses lined up to show of their finished tiaras


Norah got a little shy during the Happy Birthday song


3 sparkling candles!!!


Norah got a little help from Mommy and Olivia to blow out her candles

We also celebrated Norah's birthday on her birthday, Monday afternoon. We baked cupcakes and decorated them with sprinkles. We also made homemade pizzas. It was a quiet night but lots of fun!!


Mmmmmm...smell the fresh cupcakes cooling in the window sill.

Hannah putting the final touches on our pizza...


...oops, too much cheese...


...that's better!


Sweet Norah!


Now for the cupcakes...


Focus. Determination. Perfection.


One more. Now it's perfect!


Quality Assurance team. Yep, sprinkles still taste good!


Caedon agrees!


Happy Birthday Norah!!


Norah's melancholy look is because she was so excited to have candles on her cupcake that she pointed at them. Unfortunately, she got too close and burned her finger.


The tears were short lived. Especially when cupcakes are calling your name!


Yum!


What is the Pirates of the Caribbean rated? Rrrrrrrrr!

Easter 2012

He is Risen! We had a great Easter with our family this year. My parents came over for our backyard Easter egg hunt and lunch. Our friend Joey was in town from Louisville, Kentucky with his wife and two boys. It was a great afternoon of hanging out and catching up. The kids loved running around the backyard looking for the eggs. And they made some new friends with Jaden and Hudson.
