Ethan's 9th Birthday!

For Ethan's 9th birthday, we had a little party for him in the evening. No dinner, just dessert. He wanted a Mario theme, and planned the whole party by himself. First we did a coloring contest, then Pin the mustache on Mario. Ethan colored the Mario poster all on his own!
Emilee broke out her very first french braid just for the occasion. . .
We did a big treasure hunt where the boys searched for the pinata filled with gold coins! Mario left clues along the way about what he did that day.
It ended with a trip up to the mailbox. . .
And then it exploded in their arms on the way home and they picked up candy from the street!
And then again on the grass. . .
After presents we enjoyed some delicious chocolate mushroom cake.
It was such a fun party because Ethan was so involved with the planning. He had so many fun activities for the kids and kept the schedule moving right along. I love this kid!
