5 Years Old!!

Ethan turned five today!!

I cannot believe it. Maybe it's because Lincoln reminds me so much of him that it has made it so fresh in my head, but it seems like he was just my little baby!! We had a small get together at our house with Rob's dad, my parents, Uncle Trevor, and Ethan's cousin
Spencer. Ethan informed me earlier this week that he did not want a cake for his birthday and that he wanted "sandwich cookies"(Homemade oreos) instead. So I tried to present them like a cake as much as I could.

Of all the gifts he got I think that he was most impressed with Grandpa's five $1 bills. He thought he was pretty rich!

We got Ethan Battleship and he had to try it out right away.

After gifts and cookies, we busted out Rock Band and had some fun. Ethan was pretty good on the drums...with a little help from Trevor! ;)
