While we celebrated as a family on C-Note's birthday by going out to eat at his favorite pizza restaurant and dessert at Sweet Frog's, we held off on having his party until this weekend, when things settled down a bit. Glad we did, we had temperatures in the 60's so windows were open and pinata activities were held outside.
So much fun to host a Star Wars party for eight, seven-year-olds. We found all of our ideas on the internet, they were all so easy to recreate.
I ordered personalized Lego Star Wars iron-ons from a woman on etsy. Stephen cut all the white t-shirts to make capes. So easy and the boys loved them!
A green and blue light saber battle for his cake. I wish he was smiling in this photo, he lost his second top tooth the night before the party!
Green and blue chocolate dipped pretzal rods for snack. We also had Cantina corndogs, R2D2 Ruffles, Anakin apple slices, Padawan (cheese) puffs, droid candy and Yoda soda.
Our family (extended included) collected all kinds of recyclable items. The boys were able to create their own recycled droids. Some boys worked together, some worked on their own. I thought it was so cute when one of the boys asked to take all three of his droids home! I am sure his parents were thrilled that our recycling then became their property!
We rounded out the party with pin the light saber on Yoda, a Darth Vader pinata, watching a bit of the Lego Star Wars series as well as playing Lego Star Wars on Wii. We were hoping for a silly strong battle in the back yard, but we ran out of time. So we sent that home in the goodie bags along with a small lego x-wing fighter and a star wars pez.
Happy Birthday C-Note, we love you!
