Ethan's birthday celebrations

Once again this year we had the opportunity to spread Ethan's birthday celebrations out over a couple of days. It's nice because it's not as crazy that way...and it's a good excuse to eat sweet treats over and over again. :)

On his birthday we had grandparents come over for cake and presents. He was thrilled with his gifts and was excited to start playing!


He was excited about his new scooter (and the knee and elbow pads he received later) and because of some "warmer" weather and a spell with no snow he was able to try it out on the driveway the next morning.


He was also excited about his new Luge sled. It's perfect for him because it's lightweight enough for him to carry around--and it's fast! He was also able to use this gift the very next day. He and Micah spent a few hours sledding in the backyard.


He also received a new ball glove. Thankfully he's grown to a size so we didn't need to special order a left-handed glove online again! He ran around with his new elbow and knee pads on pretending he was playing baseball in the house. This will get a lot of use when Spring comes!


After gifts we sang "Happy Birthday" and enjoyed the cake. It was yummy. I ate enough so the baby could enjoy it, too!


Blowing out the candles...he told me I spaced them out too much!

On Saturday we used Ethan's birthday ice cream coupon and we all enjoyed Coldstone treats.


He stayed true to his previous tastes and once again ordered cotton candy ice cream with gummy bears in it. Micah also thought that looked good to him, so nasty...I mean yummy ice cream for them both!



Jason and I also ordered our own treats, I just didn't take pictures of those.

We had a great time celebrating Ethan and his special day!
