Sam's 5th Birthday Party Star Wars Style

Opening his presents from granparents and Auntie Marcie and Uncles after all the kids left.




Putting on his Darth Vader Costume, so cool!



The guys having way too much fun on the slip-n-slide!
















Even Grandpa got in on the fun!

The women folk chatting


Loving his cake! I made the cake after he went to sleep the night before so he saw it in the morning and loved it and thanked me many times for making it for him!

The weather was pretty cool on the party day and it took a while fo the boys to get on the slip-n-slide. It was a bit chilly. But it warmed up!






Andrew and Sam


My lightsaber pretzel rods

My Sith Skewers, I labeled all the food in Star Wars jargon. We had Stormtrooper juice, Darth Vader Gatorade, General Grevous Grapes, Boba Fett Mix.....


Jaba The Hut Juice - for the adults, it was Sangria

Water balloon fight time!


This year Sam wanted to have a boys only party! So we did. It was a smaller party, but it was really nice. He is very much into Star Wars right now so that was the theme. I had made lightsabers out of pool noodles and cut them in half and put duct tape around the bottom for them to play a game with with balloons. They had a water balloon fight and we had a jumpy slip-n-slide as we always do. Sam has been counting down his birthday since well I think his last birthday. He had a really great day and was sad the next morning becasue it was gone already! I am so happy he enjoyed his day and was so thankful that he was thankful for it.

LOVE the Star Wars theme! The boys are into SW too and love to have lightsaber fights.

I can't believe Sam is 5! Happy Birthday to him!
