Happy 4th Birthday to Our Ethan Man

We can't believe our crazy Ethan is finally 4...he has looked big enough for that age for a while! He is still as rambunctious as ever, always throwing, squeezing, jumping or whacking whatever is in his path. It is hard to stay mad at him for long though as he is the first to be there with a big hug and slobbery kiss, saying he love you as much as he can tell. He can talk the ear off anyone willing to listen or hardly respond, and we ware always hoping he doesn't say anything too embarrassing. This little boy is so full of life and brings much joy (and frustration) to our family. We feel so blessed to have him and grateful for the many life lessons he teaches us. Ethan is quick to forgive and is usually better at making friends than enemies with his contagious laugh and love for life. He always knows when I need a kind word or helping hand. He is especially good in the kitchen with me. As you can see from the picture below, he was helping me make his cake and we had fun piping frosting stars on his fingers for his enjoyment. He wanted a truck cake again this year...I think we improved the design from the last time. Ethan is happy to be four!
