Happy Birthday Ethan!!!

We had a great day on Thursday, celebrating Ethan! The night before, he had been to the dentist to have a filling replaced (they ended up capping the tooth) and on the way home, Miles stopped at Blockbuster & let him pick out a movie to watch on his birthday. So - the boys watched the movie in the morning & in the afternoon, we headed to a park to meet up with some friends for a playdate. Following that, we had to run into WalMart to do a quick exchange & ended up running into the family (now out of town) that used to babysit Ethan when he was a year old & I was working part time. It was so good to see them! We then got daddy & went to Montana's for supper, which was Ethan's choice since he loves wearing the horns :) Afterwards, we walked around Sport Check for a bit & picked up a bike for him... then Miles picked up a DQ cake, while I headed through the car wash (another blog entry) and we met up at the Cressman household for cake & coffee :) The boys went to bed way too late & were grumpy the next day... but that's what ya do for birthdays! Have a great year being EIGHT!!!

And since we didn't get enough ice cream at Montana's, we needed to get an ice cream cake (good job picking the cake daddy!)
