Continuing on in our busy week we have Trevor's 5th birthday party!! He requested a Lego Star Wars party and we're pretty sure he was very happy with everything! He had a say in everything from the invites..
...to the goodie bags. Yes, he needed one too :) We made the bag to look like a Lego, then included a 'wookie cookie', Lego candies, various Star Wars pez dispensers and Lego mini figure crayons that had personalized Storm Troopers and other Star Wars figures.
Because he's turning five he got to pick 5 friends (which amounted to 5 families) and then one extra because it is his special day and it's hard when 3 of the families are neighbors! When the kids came in they checked in and learned of their mission!
They were all anxious to start on their mission! Here are Connor from his preschool class and his sister Kennedy:
We are thankful that we have a huge courtyard so that the pieces of the party could be held out there. And also thankful that the weather is beautiful in mid-November so that it could be outside!
Kids designed their own light saber to then pin it on Yoda. Everyone did really well!
Thumbs up Jack!
Connor:
Stella:
Kennedy: (Mommy thought the blindfold may have been see through up until this!)
Claire:
Annastyn: (And check out the Princess Leia hair her Daddy did!!)
Maci:
Waiting in anticipation to see the winner of guess the number of Legos!
After everyone completed their mission they were given a Jedi certificate of completion for them to enter their house and get their Jedi gear! Jedi robes, belt and light saber!
They all LOVED this!!!
They went outside to 'fight'...
...while Mommy got the food set-up. Luke skwalking tacos, Darth Maul mac-n-cheese, Vader veggies, Jedi Jello, and pretzel light sabers!
After that it was cake time! Trevor picked out the cake he wanted too! A lego brick cake with mini-figures. We surprised him with Star Wars Lego figures though :)
The kids were ready!
Wow, what a cake! Inside was vanilla cake with oreo filling! Yum!
He felt pretty special while his friends were singing!
Time to blow out the candles!
Success!
It isn't customary to open gifts at birthday parties in AZ we've found out but given the small number of attendees we let Trevor open his presents one by one in a separate room with the friend who gave it to him! He was really excited to literally get a Star Wars Lego gift from Connor and Kennedy!
And you knew that we'd of course take a quick shot of our family to remember this day!
Four jedi robes and four light sabers left! Will be great dress up for us all!
What a fun morning! It was a crazy week but we wouldn't change anything. To see the kids so happy and smiling is worth all of the hard work that goes into two house parties. Although next year there may be a combined party or have Trevor's elsewhere :) We will see!
