We had such a wonderful day celebrating Ethan yesterday. The weather was perfect. We spent the day around the house and then had the Woods (just Lisa and the kids) over for his party around 4:30. It was a nice relaxing evening of visiting while the kids played, well till the party started. Andrew grilled out and we had a typical buffet of food. The big hit was Lisa's jello shaped like cars and footballs. Elizabeth was saying something over and over (lello, lello) , then I finally figured out she was saying Jello. Ethan wanted more, but with cake coming we thought he had enough. Lisa told him "Ethan I will leave it here and you can just have it tomorrow for lunch". Callan turned to his mom in horror saying "Mom?". You would have thought she was giving away the house or something.
The train cake was a hit and I think everyone helped to blow the candles out. The candy on the cake was the first to go and then they were off to play. Ethan was super excited about opening his presents and since it was getting cooler we decided to take the party out the camp fire. With all the presents sitting around him it was hard not to jump the gun. A few got opened before Grandma Becky made it out. He did enjoy opening his gifts and playing with all of them. What a fun day!
Elizabeth even got some new sidewalk chalk
