September 7th was Ethan's 3rd birthday. Our Georgia-born son has given us 3 blessed, full, exciting, exhausting, hysterical, baffling, exhausting, wonderful years. We love that boy and can't help to mimic his huge grin at just the sound of his name.
Here's a re-cap of his day's events:
The night before, we got Marmie and Pop on Skype and let Ethan open his present from them...a new (big boy) bike!!!!! He loves it but has another inch to grow before it's not so troubling to pedal those pedals!
The morning of his birthday, we went to a park nearby where a few friends met us for some play time.
We played, but stopped for a little lunch, before some more play time :)
Our love:
Ethan was happy that his friends, Riley and Kyle, enjoy playing with mulch as much as he does!
Home for nap, but as soon as he was up and Daddy was home from work, it was time to open a few presents from us:
Madeline got him a Superhero Seek and Find Book that she picked out and we got him a Lego set. Oh, and very importantly...a superhero is not a superhero without superhero gum!!
Daddy helped put the new Toy Story Lego set together:
We had a couple of our closest friends over for play and dinner. We kept it smaller this year, but it was still important for us to have some sort of celebartion which included our "extended family" :)Thanks Janette for taking a family picture:
Our boy's THREE!!!
Ethan's really into Superheroes right now, and although I enjoy making our kids birthday cakes with them, when we saw this one at Kroger a few weeks prior...it was settled...this was the cake!
Another year older:
That day a packge was delivered from some friends. Right before bed, Ethan opened it and got some quick play time with sister before heading to bed :) Thanks Emily and Grace! Mommy even enjoys playing this one!!
The next day Ethan recieved not just one, but TWO boxes in the mail!! He got a Ravens hat from Marmie and Pop...
And some cool new trains from MomMom and Poppy!!! WOOHOO!! We had to build a special "bridge" and "tunnel" just for those trains!
