It's Party Time! part 1

Well, we finally celebrated Ethan's birthday with a little party at the park around the corner. I was thrilled that both the rain stayed away and Ethan took a long morning nap--both important components to a good party. Family and a few friends came and Ethan thoroughly enjoyed himself. The highlights:

~Ethan started off strong with the cake but seemed a little confused by the frosting.

~He has a generous heart and shared his cake with Grandma. Ahhh... :)
~Balloons!

~Feeding 3 little boys that seemed to live at the park.
~Grandpa and Titov battling for the card tossing title(Grandpa won by a single card--Eric, what do you call that game again?).

~Some exciting bocce games (I believe there was a Titov team win and Dad/Grandpa win).

~He is really enjoying all his new toys but the red car is above and beyond his favorite! Read this to mean he gets up in the morning and immediately climbs in.

~Mike and I are amazed that a year has gone by and that our precious son is growing so fast. God, give us the wisdom to care for him and love him. Help him grow up to be a man after your heart.
