Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

A trip to Storm King (http://stormking.org) for Father’s Day.

On Sunday Noah turned 7. Crazy. We had Milo, Nooria, and Savannah over for a small Pokemon themed party.

Kate made a great cake.

Noah and Savannah sang some strange happy birthday song the whole train ride to Coney Island. Milo and I weren’t into it.

I tried to get them to ride this one..

Noah and Milo went for this one instead.

This year, for the first time, it was Christmas in Brooklyn. Luckily my parents and Aunt Mindy were able to make it down to spend it with us.

Noah was excited.

They came bearing gifts.

Our tree struggled to cover them all.

At the very same time, one of Noah’s teeth decided it wanted out of his face.

Kate and Noah wanted (reluctantly) to try the ole’ string on the doorknob trick.

Reluctantly.

Many knots tried.

Finally Noah asked me to just pull it out.

Crazy face.

A quick story before bed. Excited to see what both Santa and the Tooth Fairy would bring.

A couple weeks ago we made our annual trip to see Santa. After waiting for a while in the cold, Noah nervously waiting our turn inside.

Signing in.

On deck…

The big guy.

Santa pulled Noah up onto his lap and they sat awkwardly for a second.

Until Santa had something for him.

Later, a private conversation at the playground.

Canal Street.

Dumplings in Chinatown for lunch.

Cannoli for dessert.

Living it up.
