Ethan Turns 9

We kicked off Ethan’s birthday with a trip to the bakery for a donut breakfast. (Ethan did not eat all these donuts himself, we each had one and went back for seconds.) I love birthdays!

A new DSi game!

When we called Ethan to the table for cake-time, he came with wet, sweaty hair. Uncle Dan and a couple friends tried to give him a cool style for his pictures.

The birthday boy! He chose an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.

The kids were so cute as they gathered closely to Ethan and listened as he read each card and opened each gift.

Ethan has the best expressions when he opens gifts! He’s always been easily excited and loves the little things as much as the bigger ones. This particular expression was made after receiving a $50.00 check!

A new skateboard!

Here he is excited over a Super Mario PEZ dispenser. See what I mean about the little things?

Ethan and Stevie.

Testing out his new ramp!

Skateboarding buddies.
Happy Birthday. That cake and those donuts look delicious. Think I first started looking at your blog when Ethan was 6 so 3 years already !!!.
OM he is soo big! Love that he gets so excited! Cracked me up that the little guys were in costume!
Yum, the donuts look good! Ethan’s hair was hilarious! Also, his little slip up! Of course the little guys were in costumes. They always are! We love our little superheros even if it is a pain to change their costumes a million times a day.
So can Ethan really ride a skateboard or is he just going to learn now that he has one? I confess, I never could balance on one of those things; they scared me! Haha!
It was fun to see you all this weekend!
