Birthday Updates

ETHAN
I realized while I was updating Ashlyn's latest adventures that I never posted anything about Ethan's birthday. So here it is...

Our little guy turned 7 in Jan. I don't like that one bit! We tried telling him that he had to go backwards on this birthday and that he would be turning 5 instead, but he was having none of it. He said he has to be 7 and he has to get bigger. I don't know why though. He never gives me a good reason for it. And until he does, I refuse to believe that there is any good reason why he has to grow up!

We celebrated his birthday but taking the kids to Chuck E Cheese for dinner and to let them play. It always works out well for his birthday because he gets free tokens for his birthday and Ashlyn gets free tokens for her report card grades. I also let him pick out what flavor cake and frosting he wanted and I made him a cake. We let the kids each pick an ice cream flavor to go with the cake. Our gift to him (besides the trip to C.E.C.) was a 6 month subscription to an online game of Pirates of the Caribbean. He really enjoys playing and had been asking for weeks on end for us to get him unlimited access to the game.

He also really enjoyed all the gifts that were sent to him! Thank you!

ASHLYN
So my baby girl turned 10 this month (sniffle, sniffle, cry, cry). Where has the time gone?! She has really grown recently and is looking more like a 10 year old these days. I will take the kids to C.E.C. again tomorrow (March 19). She will get to use her free birthday tokens and it will also benefit the DI teams as they are doing a fundraiser there. We didn't get to celebrate much on her actual birthDAY, but she did open all the gifts that were sent to her that day.

We will get her the newest Barbie video that she wants as our gift to her and we will take her, Ethan, and a few of her friends to see Horton Hears a Who in the theater. That is what she wants to do for her birthday celebration this year. It looks like a cute movie, so it should be a fun time.

She loved all the gifts that were sent to her! Thank you!
