ETHAN IS 6!

Oh my how time has flown!  It seems like only yesterday I was anxiously laboring (for eight long hours) for my second son to arrive!  Yet here we are, six short years later and we get to celebrate his life!  There are no words that can describe the sheer joy that Ethan has brought to our lives!  He is sweet, precocious, full of activity, laughing, mischievous, active, and 100% ALL AMERICAN BOY!

For his 6^th birthday, requested an Angry Bird pool party!  About two weeks before the party we noticed a leak in the pool!  The warranty (which we learned later won’t cover the repairs), was called into play but still we questioned, what can we do for the pool party?  We had already sent the invitations out!  Ethan and Daddy voted on a water slide so that’s what we did!  The water slide was a worthwhile investment and made the day party perfect!

Setting up the slide!  What FUN!

The party décor was all made by me, thanks to some printables from Etsy and a little hard work! We had the usual Candy / Sweets Buffet along with yummy Angry Bird food, like Angry Eggs, Bird Nest Treats, and Pigs in a Blanket.  The cake and cupcakes were great hits, but the MAIN event was opening the presents!  When I asked Ethan what his all time favorite gift was, he smiled his precious smile and said: “The money Mama………all $51.00 worth!” 

The front door!

Working on decorating tablescapes......

Making the marshmallow pops!

The sweets table is done and ready to be enjoyed by all!

I LOVED all the fun printables we had!

The main table with the yummy snacks and cake!

Yes, it was a Publix chocolate cake!

All the guests playing and having fun!

 

Ethan didn't like us singing Happy Birthday!

 

PRESENTS!

 

 

What a smile!

 

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!!!!

 

More fun presents.......

 

AND more MONEY!

 

The aftermath......it was a great party!

Today was a great day!  A day to celebrate life and celebrate the gift of our children!  I am so thankful that I can do these things for my children!  I hope that they will look back on their lives and smiling knowing that we thought they were worth the moon!  I hope that they will see these pictures and smile and know that we are so happy God gave them to us!  More than anything I hope that they always remember that they are precious and worth celebrating; on their birthday and everyday!!

 

HAPPY 6^TH BIRTHDAY ETHAN!  MAMA & DADDY LOVE YOU!!!!!
