Happy 4th Birthday Noah

June 2 2013

We had a great day celebrating Noah's 4th birthday a day early here in Turkey.   I kinda threw a party together, and our sweet friends were kind to come and help us party. 

It was Fire truck themed. 

And this was the 2nd attempt at the top of the cake, but in the even red icing doesn't work, scrap it off and use Twizzlers.  I knew they were my fav candy for some reason. 

A pinterest idea (the only one of many I looked up)

Match sticks for the "fire"

And here he is, he didn't know quite what to think with everyone over for him. 

Luke was excited. 

Here is the whole spread with my Birthday Boy. 

We had 7 girls, and 4 boys including Noah.  Noah was in heaven.

A little Turkish influence.  Flash dance and freeze to music.  It took the boys a little while to get into it.  

But then this one stole the show. 

Getting ready to light the candle.

We actually blowed it out twice, and sang Happy Birthday in english and turkish.

Noah approved of the american cake batter and icing brought from the states from friends.  

So did Luke, especially the icing. 

And he was a gracious little gentleman while opening gifts.  

A shirt from our Turkish neighbor, for both boys.

Luke gave out the hugs for thank you's.

And the big noisy gift.  That is constantly being driven around the house.  The plasma car.  I had been eyeing this for a while because it reminded me of the triangle scoots, with the handlebars on the front that you made go by working your arms back and forth, that I had when I was little.  The concept is the same but better seating.  

And it fits 2.
