Ethan's One and Half Birthday:Nov.8th

Ethan's birthday started out with a visit in the morning to Hattie and Clemency's place to help out while they packed for a trip to her parents out South. As you can see, Hattie and Ethan were quick to make an escape into the garden and play with freezing water in a watering can. HAHA!
Then around noonish, Daddy came to pick us up, with the car loaded with Ethan's high chair, bibs, nappies, wetwipes, clothes, cakes and some food. When we got there, it was a bit of a whirlwind getting everything set up with blowing balloons and prepping the table with food.
Mama Zee and Papa Zee gave Ethan his first of 3 birthday presents to open! It was a motorcycle with a side car and a daddy, mommy with baby, suitcase and dog to put in it. Very Cool! Later on, the second gift was a wooden moveable snake from their trip to Tunisia.
This was Papa and Mama Zee making silly faces.
Afterwards, we had oodles of food to eat!
Here is everyone chowing down.
And then there was jello for dessert...
And soon after that... it was ice cream ... (of course we sang Happy Birthday and everyone enjoyed the two cakes but that is on the video and unfortunatley my laptop has a bug and won't start up so i'm using Adam's and haven't uploaded the videos so bear with me)
Then Ethan got down to the business of opening presents.
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts. Grannie and Gramps- we love the" bubboes" and he can't get enough of them during bath time. We hear "Bubboes" repeatedly through out our day nowand the ball and velcro mitts are super fun too. Thanks to Uncle Josh and Dan for the awesome doggie which he hugs around the house and must take with him in the car and to Uncle Rob and Anna who came and played and took part in his special day.
