Ethan's 5th Birthday

We flew in on Monday and had a few days to prepare to celebrate Ethan's 5th birthday.  We decorated in Hot Wheels and made it a special day for him.

Ballons waiting for him when he got up in the morning

Ethan had swimming lessons that week, so we let him open one of his presents early so he could use them for his lessons.
Goggles and a new rash guard to keep him warm in that chilly pool!
Carter wanted some "goggles", too!  Love these boys!
After swimming he went outside to ride his bike that he got earlier in the summer, which was really his main birthday present.  We gave it to him early so he would have the whole summer to ride it.  Then we just got a few small things to open on his actual day.

Both Ethan and Carter have been begging to go to Chuck E. Cheese forever.  So Ethan's birthday was the lucky day!  We invited family and a few friends to join us and had a fun afternoon.

The boys loved playing on all the games and rides.
Ashton really got in on the action, too!
Carter was fascinated by this one.

Playing some games
Anderson shooting some hoops
Dylan played some air hockey.
Grandma got some time in with Ashton while we played.
I found a Hot Wheels cake and Ethan was so excited that it had a real car on it!
Such a big boy!
Our crew (minus the two babies)
Make a wish!
Ethan found Chuck E. Cheese, but was rather shy.  He didn't want to get too close.

Grandpa Walker was giving Ethan some driving lessons.
Allisha even got in on the air hockey!
The boys were so excited to go and it did not disappoint!
It was so fun to celebrate our big 5-year-old as a family!
