Ethan Brian, your heart is one of the BIGGEST I know! I can’t believe I GET to be YOUR mom and watch you grow and mature even more each year! I love your sensitive and gentle spirit, and I love how you love others. You have such a servant’s heart, you are always wanting to help those around you. I am just so thankful and grateful to have you as my OLDEST SON! Happy 11th Birthday and keep being YOU! God made you SO SO Special for a VERY special purpose in this world! One of those purposes is to be such a HUGE blessing to this family! WE LOVE YOU!
We had so much fun celebrating YOU!

The celebration started with an awesome “Minecraft slumber party” with a special friend! They got to go to the movies and stay up late playing their favorite computer game!

Ashton wanted SO SO badly to get Ethan a gift to give on his actual birthday. He had some money to contribute, but he asked if I could help him purchase something that HE JUST KNEW ETHAN WOULD LOVE!!! He wanted so passionately for Ethan to have this ONE thing!
In fact, after we bought it, he wanted to wrap it right away and he was BURSTING at the seems to give it to him! He couldn’t wait till his bday, he just HAD to give it to him the night before!
Well, I must say, Ashy nailed it! Ethan LOVED LOVED LOVED it! Well, they all did!
