Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

After Noah’s party at day care, we went to check out the new roof deck that Mark and Jen had built on their roof.

Jen brought out a bunch of Lou’s toys for Noah to play with.

Typical Yankee’s fan.

S’mores©.

Thanks for having us over!

A couple Friday’s ago, Noah’s day care class had a little party. An emotional affair mainly for the parents and teachers of course. I was in charge of balloons.

More of me with the balloons.

Noah’s teacher, Ms. Michelle, put together a video recapping the year.

Then there was food.

Mia Mae’s brother Sebastian was there…

…and he was ready to swipe Noah’s cupcake.

Zion’s hand, caught up in a few balloons.

Panda “Monster” (there are monsters everywhere lately).

Sneaky panda monster, just waiting to pounce.

Mommy panda monster.

Super sketchy.

Thanks to Noah’s teachers, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Ella, Ms. Alva, Ms. Jackie (Ms. Tiffany, Mr. Logan, Mr. Robert…) for a great year.

Birthday pancakes with wild blueberries.

Wild 3 year olds doing dances for their Nana.

Wild birthday deliveries (they do that in Maine?) from generous Aunt Mindy.

WILD!

It was so wild at the house, that Kate and I went for a hike. Just the two of us. I’ll recap a little.

Our car, growing smaller.

The hike getting steeper.

The view getting better.

The sap, getting sappier (and the bugs, to the left of Kate, getting hungrier).

Our post hike lunch.

Back at the house, wild boy grew another tail.

At the playground in town.

Dinner.

The typical mid-meal distractions.

Dessert!

Presents!

Dear Noah,

I hope you have a great birthday. I am sorry I can not be there to celebrate but you will have so much fun with Mom, Dad, Nana and Grampa Holt.  You are the sweetest nephew and I am so lucky to have you in my life.  I will talk to Jeremy the Jet to see if he can get me to NYC soon.  I love you and I hope you get some cupcakes like you wanted. 

09 – Personalized Happy Birthday Song for Noah

Enjoy your song. I can not wait to see some birthday pictures.

Love you more than anything.

XO Auntie Mindy

On Tuesday I brought in the cupcakes that Noah and Kate made for a quick (early) birthday party classmates.

It’s a tough time of year for birthday parties. More that half of Noah’s classmates were away or out for the day. It worked out for the kids that were there though, they got bigger goodie bags.

As everyone sang Happy Birthday, Noah pretended to sleep.

Cupcake time.

Audrey, Noah, and Aaron.

Alex and Logan.
