We had a family dinner tonight to celebrate Ethan’s birthday. Daddy was home and Debby and her boyfriend Jeff came out, and Wendy got home from work in time to spend the evening with us. I made a couple of homemade pizza’s and Kyle made some breadsticks to go with. Yummmm
Ethan only had one piece of pizza then rushed to the living room asking everybody else why they weren’t done yet and telling everyone to finish eating so he could open his presents. Silly boy. Everyone took their sweet time in eating dinner and when everyone was finished we moved to the living room so Ethan could open his presents.
When he was finished opening his presents, I put on a home video from when I was about 6 years old so we could watch the scene where Debby was about 3 years old or so and she was throwing a major fit. 😀 It was awesome. I think Debby quite enjoyed laughing at herself.
Then it was cake time. Ethan picked a butter pecan cake, and I went to make it this afternoon and discovered that we didn’t have any more cooking oil. So Kyle got some cooking oil on his way home from work and I finished making the cake and baked it after dinner came out of the oven. So by the time we got around to eating the cake, it was still warm. 🙂 It was very nice. I decorated the cake by putting Ethan’s name in m&m’s across the top and a 6 under his name. I had asked Kyle to get the candles out of the cupboard for me and he found a box of Hanukkah candles. So he asked Ethan if he wanted BIG candles on his cake. Ethan’s eyes got really big and with a huge grin Ethan whispered “YA!” It was so funny.
