Celebrating Ethan's Birthday--Part II

The day before Ethan's birthday we decided to have family over to celebrate Ethan's birthday with cake and ice cream.  Tristan's brother, Kelsey, and his wife, Nicole, came down from Port Orchard a little early and we grilled some chicken and corn on the cob.  Yummy!  I love summer cooking.  Then the rest of our families arrived.  We just got together for an hour or so since it was a Sunday and we didn't get home from church until 4:30 or so, but it was nice to let Ethan know his family loved him and thought he was special.

Getting ready to blow out the candles for the second time!

 Opening some gifts and being silly!

 Asking Uncle Kelsey how the cool truck they got him works...he loves that truck!

 Carter was very curious about this whole present thing.  He definitely wanted in on the action, as usual!

 Playing with the fun computer from Grandma Bernard...that has been a lifesaver in the car on many occasions--for both boys!

 Trying to get a picture with Grandma Bernard and Aunt Tennille...kind of hard to do with two squirmy boys!

 Being goofy with Uncle Sean

We really enjoyed making Ethan feel special for a second time for turning the big 3!  We love our silly boy!!
