Five

Five years old. My little boy is growing up so incredibly quick. Too quick. It was a bittersweet day for me on Thursday. I don't think that Ethan thought he actually turned five until Saturday, when he had his cake. The cupcake cake that we brought to his school on Friday didn't even count as his birthday to him! We celebrated from Thursday to Saturday! On Thursday, we went with some friends to the North Carolina Symphony. That evening we let him pick where he wanted to eat and he chose Outback. He loves the "long" macaroni and cheese. On Friday, as I mentioned, Chris and I brought a cupcake cake to his school and had a little party for him. Saturday was the big bowling party! With over 20 kids, it was a success to say the least! That was the first time that I have ever been to a bowling party and it was very easy. Ethan was very grateful for everything that he received. I am so glad that we are blessed with so many great friends and family. I have not looked through the photos very well, but went ahead and posted them anyway. There are tons of them!
