Birthday Bash

On Friday we celebrated Ethan's 3rd birthday (which is actually on May 30) with our good friends Rob & Michele (and there two little ones - Kendal & Griffin) and Amy (Shawn had to work so Amy had Katherine & Lauren by herself). Ethan was so excited because he was having another Nemo birthday (we had one last year too). When we were at the store, we offered him Cars, pirates, or Thomas, but her wanted Nemo again. When he got up from his nap he couldn't wait until everyone came over to have a PARTY!! We gave him his presents from us before everyone got there because there was much assembly required☻


We gave him a jumper and a play BBQ grill. He seems to like them both. He likes to get some air time on the jumper now that he's figured out how to get both feet off the ground. And he likes to make hamburgers and chicken on the grill.

After supper we all went out in the back yard and played on the swing set. We even brought the jumper outside too! Kendal and Katherine loved going down the twisty slide. Ethan still is unsure of it. He'll climb up to the top and then come back down. He did help the girls slide down the slide by giving them a push at the top.

While Ethan and the girls were sliding, Lauren got the jumper all to herself. It didn't last long before the older kids came and joined her. We then came inside to clean up (we're not quite sure how Katherine got so dirty). Ethan opened his presents which he loved and then we sang happy birthday and had cake! After cake the kids wanted to play some more so we headed to the basement. Ethan had such a good time he wants to have parties all the time now☻
