Calvin's 5th Birthday

(These pictures are in order from what happened last to first.)
Calvin turned 5 on January 31. Since his 4th birthday he has desired a birthday party with his friends, so this year we broke our usual tradition of just celebrating as a family and invited three boys to Calvin's party. I must say, he went to sleep that night happy and feeling well loved. His day was great...
Since all the rage in our house is Star Wars we did a Star Wars themed party. You will see evidence of this in the following pictures. After eating cake they had fun playing with balloons.


































The best picture of Calvin with his cake...simply a strawberry cake with the Star Wars logo on it (simple enough, huh?!) We served the cake with Yoda Sodas (very yummy and green...and easy to make!)













To get the party started we played some traditional games with a Star Wars slant. Paul made a "Death Star" pinnata and the boys (and Adele) had fun whacking at it. Finally it burst open and all the candy came falling out. We were glad our young Jedis were able to destroy it.








Here's Calvin's turn.

















The line up of friends.














And no party would be complete without Musical Chairs set to the Star Wars theme music. The kids LOVED this and had so much fun seeing who would be left out. Can you see how happy our boy is? Happy Birthday Calvin Lewis! We love you.
