FiveFiveFiveFiveFIVE!!!

Our Noodle is five! Here she is, waiting for her pajama party to start Saturday night:

She celebrated on Friday at school with Rice Krispy treats and princess fruit snacks for the class. After school, we whisked her away to her dream destination: Chuck E. Cheese. Because she is a second child, she had NEVER BEEN. Don't tell her that we took her big brother when he was 8 months old (before we got smart). She had a blast playing games with her brothers, getting a million tickets, and then we let her use ALL OF THEM to pick the prizes (she picked a few for each brother). After dinner, we went to Krispy Kreme and everyone picked out a celebratory donut. She got a snowman one. WAY better than cake, if you ask me.

Saturday night was her birthday party. Seventeen, yes, seventeen, DON'T JUDGE, little girls came over for pizza, cupcakes and to watch the movie "Tangled." THREE HOURS OF BLISS IN OUR HOUSE. Ha ha ha. Noodle had a blast, though, so it was worth it. Next year, though, we are totally adhering to the "age plus one" rule. SEVENTEEN GIRLS. What were we thinking!?
