We celebrated Ethan's 4th birthday a few weeks ago. He woke Friday morning WAY earlier than usual, whispering to me "is it my birthday yet?" I told him, "No, not until the sun comes up." That didn't work. So we got to celebrate his special day even longer :)
He knew my parents had sent him some presents about a week prior so he was anxious to open. He got some new undies, a Lego set, a Spiderman apron and spatulla, a few other cool things and one of the highlights: 2 cards with $4 in each!! The boy loves dollars and my parents know it!
Madeline, Ethan and I hung out together most of the morning, and then their friend, Holland, came over to visit for a bit. She had collected several catepillars for Ethan and had them in a little container. He was thrilled!!
Ethan was also thrilled that he got to go to Madeline's Girl Scout meeting for a little bit:
Daddy swung by the meeting to snatch Ethan and spend some man time with him while Madeline and I finished up the meeting. Then we went to Ethan's dinner of choice, Stevi B's (a pizza buffet):
(*the odd colors on these pics are due to some settings I had messed with and forgot to put back)
He loves the arcade and was so excited to "spend his dollars on the games." So he was extra happy when we actually gave him some other dollars to use!
Our friends joined us for dinner. Owen, Ethan, Madeline, Holland:
We stayed for quite a while since everyone was having such a nice relaxing time. We got home late, but squeezed in some quick Skype time with Marmie and Pop:
We also had Ethan open his presents from us. A few days prior, Madeline saw something when we had run into the Dollar Tree and said, "Mom! This would be SO perfect for Ethan's birthday!! Can I give you a dollar when we get home?!!?" And so she picked out a gift for her little bro:
Geez, not sure who's more excited!
It was a little container with a dinosaur and "eggs" that you added water to to watch the eggs grow. He loved it...
...obviously:
He loved his gift from Mommy and Daddy too:
The next day we had a "few" friends over:
Many of my friends grabbed the camera to snap pictures here and there (as I like it). Here's one of Ethan with one of his favorite families, our neighbors the DeAngelos:
Friends :)
Happy Birthday Big Boy!!!
A little shy at everyone siging to him:
He was a bit spoiled with some awesome stuff! Big sis helped hold it:
Ethan was the wild boy he is troughout the whole party. But once everyone had left, he grabbed his new superhero book and just relaxed:
The next day...and everyday since:
Happy Birthday Ethan!! Love you so much!
