Ethan Turns 4!

Mei-Li's little cousin Ethan turned four years old this April, and we were on hand to celebrate. We went to the bowling party and then to the after-party at the house.

Mei-Li gives Ethan a basketful of outdoor presents.

The cousins try "sucker-ball".

Blowing bubbles.

Ethan and ML play soccer with Poppa and D.J.

All that playing wore us out, so we took a dinner break and then had some cake. Mmmm, cake!

This is a bit blurry because it's an action shot!

Ethan transports a load of Kinney in his new tractor.

ML wants to sit in the front, so the gang makes adjustments.

Poppa and Uncle Mike--instructions 

in hand--check things out.

Watch out for the wall--THE WAAAALL!

Mario Cart practice pays off for Mei-Li.

Poppa watches Ethan throw his new football.

After a final game of catch and lots of hugs from the birthday boy--especially for his big cousin--the party broke up and we went home.  Some of us were stiff the next day. Um, not the kids.
