Ethan's Birthday Party!

We had a party for Ethan on May 4th while we were in Virginia Beach. Grandma, Nana, Papa, Aunt Rebekah, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Geoff, and Cousin Jared were able to be there. Thanks for coming on such short notice everyone!!!

We started with birthday cake and icecream. Ethan doesn't seem to like cake very much but he made a mess anyway so that I could get some pictures. Isn't he sweet? For his actual birthday we picked up a Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake at Sam's Club for $6 and he actually liked that much better. Chocolate, now we know.

Then Ethan opened his presents. We asked everyone to please give him books instead of toys. We have so many toys and Ethan loves to read! So, he received a great variety of books with flaps which he LOVES! Thanks for the books everyone! There was one toy that I wanted him to have though so I had my mom get him this ride on toy. Joshua loves to ride his train around the house and Ethan tries to get on it but it is too high. Now he has his own! Thanks Nana!

While Daddy put it together, Ethan played in the box. Sometimes I wonder "Why didn't I think to just give him a box?"
