Somebody turned five last weekend and enjoyed celebrating her birthday with some of her friends. These are just a few pictures that Chris captured while I was herding a bunch of kids around our house. She’s really growing up entirely too fast.

Star Wars Birthday Party

This weekend we celebrated my son’s 6th birthday. Given that he has somehow become a big fan of all things Star Wars, there was little doubt about the theme he would choose for his birthday party. So, on Saturday afternoon we had a lot of fun watching as all of the party guests arrived in their costumes.
Given that Halloween seemed to have arrived early, I had to try and capture a few images. Not the easiest thing to do while also trying to keep 10 kids and numerous adult family members entertained. Nevertheless, the following should provide a small flavor of what the day was like. And, luckily for us, we’ve been enjoying 80-degree weather for the past few days.
And, I have to give a shout out to Jason Miller from Jason’s Coffee Shop and Fine Baked Goods. My husband went in earlier in the week explaining that we were hosting a Star Wars b-day party and wanted a cake to match the theme. Well, Jason ended up designing and baking a cake that looked exactly like the Millenium Falcon. Not only did it look great but it was oh so delicious. The cool thing was all the adults that dropped their kids off at the party had to come in to catch a glimpse of the cake. Check out the pics below and even more important, pay Jason a visit.
Here’s my three little ones preparing for the guests to arrive.
Here’s the lineup. I had to get a group shot early on in the party in anticipation that they may end up shedding their costumes as the party went on. Surprisingly, they didn’t.
Some of the boys have gathered to get their game plan together.
The kids participated in a relay race to free Han Solo from his frozen fate.
Almost free!
The two teams waited patiently for their turn to try and free Han.
The kids also had fun trying to pop each other’s balloons that were tied to everyones ankles. You can be sure that we had to lay down some serious ground rules before we played this one. And, I am happy to say, that we navigated our way through the entire 2-hour party with no injuries.
I had to get a shot of the cake. Too cool!
On this one you can see that the birthday boy got a little help blowing his candle out.
