Our sweet boy turns 2!

I can't believe how time is flying by! We kicked off this year by celebrating Ethan's 2nd birthday! We could not be more proud of him and all the he has accomplished so far. He is such a mild mannered, sweet and caring little boy. He listens very well, is well behaved (most of the time--haha!) and loves to explore life! It's so fun to watch his wonderment with everything that he does. He is such an intelligent, observant and fun loving kid. We could not feel more blessed!

For his birthday this year we did a construction theme. Ethan loves, loves, loves anything with wheels and anything construction-related. He couldn't be more excited when we drive down the road and see an arrow sign directing traffic around a construction zone. Or a loader on the side of the road. So that's what we did! From construction hats to an actual "dig zone" (aka a rice table) he had a blast. Here are a few pictures from the party.

Blowing out his candles!


Ethan's very own construction cake (a Mommy original!)--he could barely contain his excitement when he saw those construction vehicles on there! I made an Oreo road and used graham crackers for the dirt piles. The cones were candles and I printed the street signs on card stock, cut them out and attached them to craft picks. And his personalized billboard was the only way I could get the writing on the cake--excellent suggestion from my very creative hubby!!








Pictured here: The kids table--Noah, Adin, Daniel, TJ and Ethan enjoying their lunch; Ethan enjoying his birthday cake and ice cream--he says..."burr burr burr" when he eats ice cream; and the kids in the "dig zone" aka a rice table filled with construction vehicles and scoops. Very fun!
