Noah turns 3!!!

Noah turned 3 on Saturday! He has been very excited for the last several weeks leading up to his birthday, and hopefully the weekend matched his expectations. His birthday festivities took place in 2 parts. First there was a party with his "friends." As he was turning 3, he got to have 3 buddies over. Fred, Calvin, and Evie came over on Friday to play. Aunt Philie scored major points for finding a Captain America mask. Noah already had an Iron Man mask, so Fred got to be Iron Man. Fred is not much into superheroes, so it was hilarious when he kept pausing while saying in a deep, voice, "I am ..... (who am I with this mask I'm wearing?).... IRONMAN!" It was like an actor searching for lines, it was classic!
Friday night Mike spent 4 hours making the cake and decorating. We were interrupted once at about 9pm when Noah woke up after sleeping for awhile and came out fully dressed ready for his birthday, only to be sent back to bed. Noah wanted a Captain America party, and I'm pretty sure daddy delivered, big time...
This picture was taken at about 6am at the big reveal. Noah was so thrilled about the cake topper action figure...
He pretty much forgot about the bike we got him. Typical, he loves the 6 dollar toy and pretty much tosses the more expensive one. Oh well, when the weather gets warmer, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
I finally relented in my "don't cut my baby's hair until he's one" stance because poor Sam was struggling with hair in his face constantly. So, as is now tradition, Auntie Kimmy gave him his first hair cut before Noah's party started on Saturday.
Doesn't he look handsome! You can actually see his beautiful blue eyes now!
Everyone knew the strong love for superheroes that Noah has. Therefore he ended up with about 12 more superhero themed gifts, despite the fact that we only invited a few people this year. Uncle Cliff even showed up in his Captain America shirt!
Nick took a turn being Iron Man and even added in the lights on his palms. Noah was psyched!
I couldn't help but think about how big he looked when he got his cake. I vividly remember him smashing his first cake 2 years ago. Now he's a kid!
No complaints on the cake dad! Homemade fondant was a hit!
Rare occasion for a family photo, pretty good considering how crazed Noah was at this point and how tired Sam was.
The cousins all together. Noah had a great day, thanks to everyone who came!
