Star Wars Party

Nicholas has a big interest in Star Wars right now.  We recently let him see Episodes 4-6.  These are the 70s and 80s movies.  Before that his knowledge came mostly from books and us.  So, a lot of his gifts this year were Star Wars-related.  He got lots of books and even the DVDs.

He tried to guess his gift when it was wrapped, but he wasn't right.

But, this time he was right!

Someone is going to the Lego store!

He'll have this memorized in no time!

He always asks my sister to make his birthday cake.  She’s so creative and always does such a good job.  This year she made him an ice cream cake from scratch.  She made sure to add a Darth Vader candle to go along with the theme.

Nicholas picked out the ice cream and Aunt Amy did the rest!

This picture is so Nicholas.

Daniel’s birthday is still over two months away, but I think we could just get him balloons and he will be happy.  He was enamored with them most of the party.

Look at Daniel in the background!

It was a nice low-key party.  He has been busy the last few days brushing up on Star Wars facts, listening to new music, and building Legos.  We are celebrating with Evan's family this coming weekend, so the party isn't quite over yet.
