Ethan's 1st REAL Birthday Party

Ethan has been begging for a 'real' party for the past few years. For his past few couple birthdays, he's been in the hospital, Bryan has had to work, and other family birthday parties. He has seen Matthew have parties, but he's never had his own party. This year, he finally got his wish. Due to all of the hockey obsession flowing throughout the neighborhood, he opted for a hockey party, of course!! He got to invite his little school friend, his cousin Eli, and some neighbors. The boy was STOKED.

Thank you to to Lorraine and my parents for your help!! We are so thankful to have such wonderful parents! Thank you Dad, Tim, and Bryan for helping push all the 5 year olds around the ice!! Everyone had a great time!!

Ethan wasn't on the ice for 10 minutes and he fell and banged his lip. He had blood smeared all over the place. It was on his face, his coat, his hands and all over his sleeves. He was done. He didn't want to skate again. When I told him he was like a real hockey player, he perked up and got right back to skating!!

Even my momma got on the ice...even just for one lap. I think she laughed the entire time around the rink!!
