Ethan's 9th Birthday

On December 2oth, Ethan turned nine years old! He looked forward all month long to his birthday. Matt, Jo, Ben, and Dylan joined us up at Pappa and Grandma's house for the celebration. Of course, we started by opening up his presents, because I thought Ethan was going to explode if he had to wait any longer!
And yes, this was the year that I gave in and agreed with Steve to buy him a BB gun that he wanted so bad. He was really surprised, because he knew that I would never buy him one! But, I also got him a NRA gun safety video to go along with it.
Birthday cake.....
And then the crew headed out for a wonderful evening at CALM to see the holiday lights....and of course enjoy the traditional apple dumpling!

Did you have to join the NRA to get that video Jen?! Just kidding!
He looks SO much older in that very first picture.
