New Year's Eve & Norah's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Norah's birthday. I can't believe my little baby is already 3. She was so excited that it was HER birthday.


















Since Norah shares a birthday with New Year's Eve, we had some friends over and celebrated both.

Norah picked what the kids had for dinner: Eggs and Toast


We had some cupcakes





And we went outside and attempted to do sparklers. Unfortunately it was freezing cold and super windy. It lasted about 30 seconds.





The week after Norah's birthday, we had a birthday party for her. This was Norah's first real birthday party. Before hand, I asked Norah what theme she wanted for her party. I suggested My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake or a cupcake party. She turned to me and replied, "I want a PINK dragon party!" Silly girl. So that's what we did. A pink dragon party. Of course I am crazy and decided to make 10 dragon tails for the kids party favors.



I tried to get all the kids to stand together to get a picture and then Abe would set off a "flying dragon" and the kids would go crazy.



Here is Abe setting off a flying dragon



I did get a picture of the kids tails



Here are some of the dragons trying to get me.



We pulled our couch away from the wall and with some blankets, we made a "dragon cave" the went around the entire room. The kids loved it!





The kids colored pictures of dragons







We also played pin the tail on the dragon, but I am pretty sure every kid looked :)

Norah requested a pink dragon on the top of her cake.








Luckily my friend Kelsey was able to come and help me round up all the little dragons!
