Three days after Christmas...








is the day Allie Noel was born.

We thought it would be fun to have a summer party this year. So Allie is 5, almost.

She got to invite 2 friends to go with us to the "Wings of Winder." A butterfly garden not too far from here. It was a butterfly paradise. Butterflies flying everywhere and so many different species I had never seen. The kids also enjoyed the HUGE snakes and reptiles. I think Allie enjoyed decorating the butterfly cupcakes the most.

Allie is her own person (aren't we all?) She likes to play rough but loves her baby dolls too, she likes a good light saber fight, wrestling, making "soup" with water, rocks and leaves, she loves to talk at home but not in public, she doesn't often wear pants but prefers skirts and dresses, she likes baking, loves playing and helping Garrett, loves to find snails and slugs in the forest and is teaching me a lot about being a Mom. A patient Mom.

Our family wouldn't be our family without Allie.

She sounds a whole lot like my 4 year old. The girly stuff, but the mud soup, the rough games, but also "Mom and Dad games" (that's what my girls call them).

What a fun idea for a summer party, crazy that Allie is already going to be 5, but I guess Chloe will be 4 in March, YIKES!!!! Yes, time should slow down sometimes!
