1 More Birthday Post :)

I realized that I haven't shared the pictures from Ethan's birthday day with just the 4 of us.  Jared took the day off, and we had a wonderful day.  We started the morning off with donuts!

And if you remember from last year, we put the birthday presents under his bed and before he can get one, he gets bday swats :).  We all got a turn!

One of his presents from us was a 'construction set' (that's what he calls it, and I don't have a better name for it!)  He has enjoyed being creative with the pieces, but it has instructions for a fort and a few other things.

Here he is, in his boat :)

It's Fun to be 4!! Happy Birthday Ethan  James!

We were hoping to go to the pool all together, but the weather didn't cooperate, so we substituted with a trip to the children's museum and Culvers.

Bday Ice cream from Culvers, complete with a candle!

Tonight, we got together with our old neighborhood to celebrate Ethan and Braden.  They have been friends since they met in the hospital (born 2 days apart).  It's always a good time when we get together.  We met for dinner at a local pizza restaurant and conveniently had the whole back room to ourselves!

Ed and Ruth came too.  Ruth and Nora had a great time.  They brought a present for her too!
