Ethan's much anticipated 6th Birthday was earlier this month! He had been counting down the days for a long time and was so very excited to have a party, special treament, and be a year older. He had basketball practice on his birthday that he didn't want to miss, so he had his party with friends the day before.
His party had a chef theme, and it was cute to come up with some fun recipes that the kids could cook and have fun with on their own. When they first arrived they got to decorate their own chef hat and put on aprons that Aunt April had personalized with iron-on vinyl. They were pretty excited and looked adorable all dressed up!
They made pizza sauce, squished and rolled out their dough, and made individual pizzas. While those cooked they played games like Waiter, Waiter, Chef (duck, duck, goose), Hot Potato, and an Egg race.
After eating their pizzas, it was time to decorate cupcakes. They got to eat one, and decorate some to take home.
It was lots of fun, lots of recuperation, and I had lots of help! I am so glad that Ethan has so many wonderful friends that he wants to be part of his special day....we had 17 kids and believe it or not there were more that I wish we could have invited!
On Ethan's real birthday he opened some presents from our family (Basketball, Football, Old Maid, and some Bakugans), and brought treats to school (Klondike bars). After school he had basketball practice, and then the Flake's came over for his requested dinner of Nachos and Rootbeer.....
We loved giving him birthday spanks and seeing him so excited about his fun presents. The night was complete when he came down the stairs wearing an outfit I bought for a baby shower (size 6-12 months!!). That's our Ethan, always trying to make us laugh!!!
