Best friends

Isn't it cute?  Chip loves Ethan and Ethan loves Chip.  It's adorable.  Chip loves to sit with Ethan and have Ethan pet him.  Now, Violet on the other hand, is just now becoming used to Ethan.  Poor girl, to think she's about to start all over again with a new baby.  If she only knew. 

Finally, some snow.  It's not a lot, but well it was on the ground! I have been waiting for Ethan to see the snow and we finally had some!  We did get a bit more than what you see, but we went out early, in case it melted right away.  (It was pretty much gone before Ethan was up from nap)

Ethan LOVED the snow.  He kept wanting a snowman, but obviously there wasn't enough snow for that.  Try explaining that to a three year old.  We did make some little snow balls and throw those.  That was fun and Ethan LOVED every minute.

Can you see the grin?  He was thrilled!

Nothing beats snow to a TN kid that never gets to see any!

Aunt Bianca you are the coolest!

Seriously Thank YOU!! Ethan LOVES his birthday super hero cape!! How cool is it to be super Ethan?  He loves to run around the house wearing his cape.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect present!

Happy Birthday Baby!

Well, I guess I shouldn't say baby.  Ethan doesn't like to be called a baby anymore.  If I call him that he corrects me and says "I'm not baby, I'm happy!"  It's so cute.  

I have a hard time believing that he is actually a three year old!  It seems like we just brought him home from the hospital.  This birthday has seemed more unreal than when he turned one or two.  I mean three is big!  He's not a baby anymore.  No more diapers or anything that could keep him in the baby status.  

He had a good birthday.  He woke up early and we opened a few presents.  Then he helped me frost his cake.  Of course we were tired from staying up on New Year's Eve the night before and that was an adjustment.  But, after a nap we were ready for his birthday part.  My family came to help us celebrate and we had a good time.  

After everyone left Ethan decided that he wanted to go to Chuckie Cheese for dinner, so off we went.  He had so much fun and so did Dan!  It was a great birthday for a three year old.  Low key and quiet, but lots of fun.  

Went and saw Twilight

and it was the worst movie ever! Okay, maybe not ever, but I hated it.  Uggg.  Thankfully Kayla (my brother's finance, who went with me) hated it also.  It was so poorly done and I swear it had to be the cheapest movie ever made.  Oh, well, the books are so much better.  Sorry everyone that loves it, but I just don't see what there was to like about it.

**** yes I need to blog about Ethan's bday.  I'll get to it later today! ****
