Ethan turned 8 on July 22nd! It was a little hard to plan anything this year, since we didn't know when baby would come, but we're planning a big celebration when he gets baptized at the end of August! He's been so excited to turn 8 and even though he didn't get to share his birthday with this new baby (he really wanted to!), he is happy to still have the earliest birthday of the year in our family :)
James took Ethan to LaserQuest with Ethie's friend and his dad the Saturday before his birthday. Ethan had been talking about it for a long time and they had a blast! That night Ethan, Mom, and I went to a mother/son luau at the water park. He went down the slide at least 20 times and I had fun watching him :)
 |
| Haha, I feel the love! |
On his actual birthday, I made him crepes for dinner at his request (complete with chocolate chips and chocolate syrup)! Then he got to open his presents and I think he liked them!
 |
| Sweet boy let Lilah help him open presents :) |
 |
| He really wanted an umbrella and Grandma got him one! |
 |
| Haha, happy dance |
Then we took Ethie outside so he could find his and Lilah's big birthday gift... a trampoline!
 |
| It was still in the box in the car, but he figured it out :) |
Of course, James made Ethie the most awesome cake ever!!! Ethie requested a spiderman mint chocolate ice cream cake and James happily obliged!
We love you, sweet 8-year-old! So glad you're in our family!!!
