Star Wars Birthday Party

Wow, I have now been a mother for 5 years! My little leap year baby just turned 5...(or is he still 1?!) Last weekend we had a great birthday for Josh. The most special part about it was that his cousins drove up from Ohio for the occasion. Josh debated back and forth between a Spider man party or a Star Wars party. Star Wars won. Josh also made it very clear to me that he wanted an "all boys" birthday party. We put on a mini carnival in our gym in the church. I owe 99% of the credit to my husband for his creativity and enthusiasm. We had 6 or 7 little games for the kids to win tickets and collect prizes at the end.

Here we have the Darth Vader pinata. Maddie is taking her turn.

I remember loving the game musical chairs when I was a kid. However, it kind of seems to be a cruel game at this age. Every time a kid didn't get a chair they were in tears or on the verge. Maddie especially was upset when someone was sitting in her chair.

Here is Josh sitting at the head of the birthday table. Pretty sweet huh?!

We did have a few princesses that snuck into the party.

Dave is going to be in the cake making business one day.

Here we have Yoda holding his light saber.

Happy Birthday Josh!

WE LOVE YOU!!!
