Nolan's 3rd Birthday

Nolan only does birthdays BIG. On his first birthday, he was lounging on the beach in Cancun, Mexico, his second birthday was his golden, and on his third he was enjoying thrilling water slides at Wisconsin Dells. Little Spark is off to a pretty good start!

Since we were headed out of town on Friday morning, Chelle and Molly stopped by on Thursday night to wish Nolan an early Happy Birthday and present all the boys with activity books and markers for the long van ride to the Dells. Nolan and Chelle have a pretty amazing bond; he begins asking on Monday if it's a "Mrs. Chelle day". Around 9:45am on Friday mornings, Chelle walks over and plays with Nolan for a couple hours so I can assist readers during the "Daily 5" in Collin's 1st grade classroom at Hillcrest until it is time for me to retrieve Aaron from preschool.

Looking smart, talking to Auntie Laura with Uncle Ryan on Saturday, February 25.
"Tiger, LOOK!" Nolan received a pink post-it note certificate for 5 packs of gum, along with the Skylander, Dino-Rang, and water torpedoes from Mom and Dad. Before leaving for the Dells, we stopped at CUB to cash the certificate and pick out birthday cake and frosting, chocolate on chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles.

Nolan opened a set of 5 puzzles and an Olivia book from Auntie Ellie, "How do Dinosaurs Say Happy Birthday" from Uncle Reid and Alysha, stickers and a drawing pad from Auntie Ruthie, and a summer outfit, a pack of gum, and a "fifty" from Grandpa and Grandma EIO.
When we returned home from the Dells, the birthday celebration for Nolan and Collin continued with PaPa Minnows and Honey Honey, and Ryan and Andrea. Ryan and Andrea gave Nolan a 3-D puzzle and Grandma and Grandpa gave him 2 puzzles, a fishing lure, and a generous donation to his education fund.

"Thank you very, very much!!!"
