Ethan turns 4 (May)

This is the first year that Ethan has been old enough to help plan his own birthday party.  A few of his friends in Muscat had parties just before his, and he had some strong ideas about how his party should be.  For example, rather than having a cake, he wanted "Four cookies with four chocolate chips and four candles."  I talked him out of the party hats with thermometers on them, but we did agree to begin the party at the Muscat Children's Museum and to finish at Pizza Hut.

Ethan gave himself a pre-birthday haircut.

As requested:  "Four cookies with four chocolate chips and four candles."  

Ethan had on his "serious" face, but I think he actually enjoyed his party.
