Ethan turns 11

(took place December 17th)

The birthday boy blows out the candles on his Chocolate Truffle Tart pie-thingy-dessert.



The staple of all presents....books.
'Tis The Boxcar Children.

Essential works to own if one wants to be prepared for the "living-in-a-rail-car" contingency.

More books...this time, Henry Reed.


Upon finding out he is NOT getting a pair of Dr. Scholl's shoes, Ethan discovers, to his joy, the box contains a real basketball!


One must carefully read the box to see gauge one's reaction....
...an Anatomics kit that makes five dinosaurs...that's looks safe enough to happy.

Not technically a birthday photo since it occurred almost a week later, but this is SO typical of him...
...ever the helpful brother, Ethan ventures out in shorts to help Ardith bring in some of her things for the holiday stay.

No big deal. It was only negative 17 degrees of wind chill.
