Noah turns 9

Noah turned nine this year.  After you turn eight you only get a birthday party every other year.  He was pretty upset last year knowing that he wouldn't get a party "next" year - but when it finally rolled around he was a good sport about it.  His birthday fell on a Sunday this year.  We let him open his presents before church - cause we are cool like that.  

He picked out this really cool Lego Ninjago set he had been eyeing for a while.
For his birthday dinner he chose breakfast - panekakers specifically (Danish Crepes)  with pudding and whipped cream.  Then his cake was a chocolate trifle.


Although he didn't get a "party" on Friday night one of his best friends came and slept over.  Their plan was to play x box all evening.  SADLY the power went out right as they were about to start playing and it stayed out almost all night.  We ended up finding the glow sticks, ball, and cones from Brock's birthday party and played in the street.  That was fun too.  When the power finally came back on at about 10:00 pm I let him and his friend play x box until 11:00.


Noah is such a joy in our family.  He is talkative and smiley and happy.  He always has a joke or a story to tell.  You can often find him reading a book.  He still likes legos and drawing.  Currently he has gotten into making all sorts of potions from old water bottles he finds on the way home.  While he is getting older and too cool for some things (like he didn't want me coming to school to eat lunch with him) he is always sweet to me and says, "bye mom, love you" when ever he leaves the house or car.  Noah also loves babies and little kids.  He loves to make them smile and laugh and they seem to love him too.
