I asked him what kind of birthday he wanted to have. The answer was undoubtedly Star Wars! He chose the theme and also the guest list. Seven of his closest friends came over for a water party at the house. With the temps in the 90's, a backyard water park was definitely the way to go!! We set up a Slip N' Slide, a kiddie pool and cool 12-foot long wiggly sprinkler. The kids had a blast. The only issue was that we didn't get a chance to mow the grass til the morning of, so the kids had grass all over them, but they certainly didn't care!!!
This was the nice clean house before the party ...
The cake. Once again, we choose a theme to which a cake does not exist. (This happened 2 years ago with the Backyardigans theme). So, I asked them to make it black and gray with stars, and I would add my own decorations. I think it turned out rather nicely. Luke especially liked the Darth Vader candle holder!
He woke up from nap right before the party to find a new Star Wars shirt outside his room.
All his friends eating cake!
And opening presents...
Oh boy! A light saber. Or as Luke says, a light "saver". Don't try to correct him, though, he's sure he's right.
Then we headed outside for some water fun!!
That was Saturday.
On Sunday, we had a family cookout for his birthday.
Cousin Gregg and Mimi
Awww... sweet!
