happy happy birthday, noelle! You are officially 9 years old today. WOAH. I remember when I was in junior high, probably not paying attention to my 9th grade English teacher’s lecture on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, when I was suddenly called over the intercom to come to the front desk. I thought I was in big time trouble! But, luckily I wasn’t. I was called out of class from Grandma who told me that I had a new little niece, and that her name was Noelle. I was so excited!

Who knew that one day you’d become one of my favorite people on planet earth.You are the sweetest, smartest, and cutest girl I know. I love you infinity and can’t wait to see what amazing things are in store for you.

I LOVE YOU, PEANUT!
