Nolan's birthday weekend!

I can absolutely NOT believe Nolan is already 3! It seems totally ridiculous.  Isn't he still a baby? I'm not even completely used to the fact that he can walk and talk and feed himself.  He had lots of events this weekend for his birthday, a party at school on Thursday, a visit from Gaga, Ms Linda and Mr Garrett, a very fun joint birthday party with Gracie and a small home party today to celebrate his actual birthday. He is exhausted, but currently watching Nemo as a birthday treat while Daddy puts together his new toy train from Gaga.  A few pictures from the weekend . . .

Mickey cupcakes!

Erin lighting the candles.

Getting ready to blow out the candles!

Gigi (Erin's mom) with a napping Ellie.  It was a long day of playing.

This is what the men did all day . . .

Then Brent and Ryan moved over to the candy.

Nolan and his new "shobel"(said like shovel with a 'b')

New aprons from Gaga!

This picture cracks me up!

Nolan was very unhappy that his Mickey head balloon ended up at the top of our ceiling . . .

so he and Gaga laid on the floor and stared at it.  It seemed to help.

The party was a lot of fun.  The kids had fun, the adults had fun, and neither Erin nor I collapsed.  I may post some more pics at some point, but I think I have said that before . . . and I'm not sure it has happened. Stay tuned . . .
