We celebrated all week. Robert and I were going to go to the Iowa vs. Iowa State game on her birthday so we did a couple of special things throughout the week.
Noelle and I found ourselves in DSM while the two other kids had a field trip at Living History Farms. We hit up Barnes and Noble her free kids club birthday treat and then many rides on the mall escalator.
On the day before her birthday I took her our for breakfast pancakes at the Grove and then to a surprise haircut with her favorite Rebecca. It happened to be waitress birthday as well. While we were eating a deliver of flowers came for her and she gifted a flower to Noelle (and gave her extra whip!) Noelle loves getting styled so it was a lovely outing. We almost added in a pedicure but I was running out of babysitter time.
Of course the seventh birthday is important in this family because this is when Gramma Barb gifts you your very own American Girl Doll.
Meet Celia.
Noelle picked El Azteca for her birthday dinner. She loves the queso and the super cheese quesadillas. Robert had sneakily told the waiter that it was her birthday and we would take a fried ice cream. Noelle has never been to this restaurant for a birthday and she was completely surprised when they swiftly dropped in and started singing to her with the sombrero on her head. It was priceless. I'll try to upload it, I know the video is on Robert's FB pages.
Noelle wanted a bean bag for her birthday. It was a good choice, it is very coveted around this house, Dallas and Emily both want one and often borrow it. You can also see the gel pens she got from Emily in the picture.
