Ethan turns 1!!

Friday was Ethan's birthday and we celebrated with him and the family on Saturday.  We are becoming Birthday Party Pros in our house ;).  He was so adorable and did so well!  He was more interested in the tissue paper than the gifts, but I'm sure that he'll warm to them soon.  He wasn't too sure about the cake, but he had some help "getting into it".  Enjoy the photos.

Tissue paper is so much more fun
than presents

And let's not forget the balloons!

everyone else - Danielle's
creation



Ethan's personal cake - so cute!



Am I allowed to touch this?



I'm starting to get into it







Want some?



Who needs hands, face first is so
much better!

Yea! All done!  It's great to be 1!!



We had fun helping Ethan celebrate his birthday.  We get one more shot at making a Southwell birthday a memorable occasion in a few weeks for Jay!!  We're having a tailgating birthday party before the Orange & Blue game (Florida's Spring Scrimage).  Sneak peak:  here's the cake that Jay is going to have
