Family Celebration!

 The Sunday after my birthday we had a family party. Grammy and Papa were still in town, Uncle Billy, Cousins Jeremy and Lindsay, and Uncle Brian, Aunt Heather and kids all joined us for dinner, present opening, and cake.

We also celebrated Uncle Billy's birthday. An ant farm is a fair revenge for the butterflies, tadpoles, and mess making presents that he gives us, right?

Star Wars cake!!!!

The Jedi Academy

I decided that my birthday theme this year would be "Star Wars!" Mom had a busy week of Grammy/Papa visit, Girls Camp, and my party. So she combined everything and created a sweatshop where Grammy and Papa were put to work! They were in charge of making light sabers and Jedi Vests.

We started the party with Star Wars Bingo. Then we each received a tatoo and a light saber!

 We were officially Jedis-in-Training. Our first task was to use the light saber to keep the balloons in the air.

Then we had to go through a Jedi training course. Under the table, over the chairs...

  And through the hot lava!

Then we went outside where we played, "What time is it Darth Vader?"

 Each round ended in a good light saber training battle!

Even little B got to be Darth Vader. Scariest villian I've ever seen!!!

 I'm officially a Jedi!!!

 The graduating class of Jedis. May the Force be with us!

And what a feast the new Jedis enjoyed! Cake and ice cream!

Happy Birthday to ME! FIVE is GREAT!!!
