Ethan’s 9th Birthday

I wanted to do something new for Ethan’s birthday this year. I set up a yarn maze throughout the house. When he woke up on his birthday this guy was outside his door.

I strung yellow(of course) yarn starting at his room then the bathroom IMG_1009

and downstairs to the living room IMG_1010

I needed to keep it in these rooms so our dog didn’t get tangled up in it. He doesn’t really venture into the living room when no one is sitting in there.IMG_1011

first gift was these awesome Happy Birthday glassesDSC04264

on to the bathroom DSC04258  play the video below of Ethan…

It took him about 20 minutes to get to the end, which was iCarly soundtrack. DSC04282

for his bday dinner I made these little penguin meatballs and cheese stuffed breadsticks. The penguins were supposed to have a yellow pepper front bib, but it wouldn’t stay. And he didn’t eat them either. DSC04286 DSC04287

and his Poppy

I didn’t get a picture of him with my dad, oops! My mother was missed at the party. She had to go down to be with her mother for the week. She told me not to change the party for her.

awesome ‘9’ balloon with 9 – dollar bills attached from his Ga & Poppy

 DSC04295he opened up our gift first – he was really wondering what it could be

 DSC04296

he got an ipod!! It wasn’t the ipod touch that he wanted, but the 5th gen nano we got used off of Amazon.  He did say he would like the ipod that takes video and this one does! It is much better for kids than the current nano that is the small square. That is way too little for kids to use, he would have lost it!
