Star Wars Birthday Party!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away....

A girl of destiny was born. The Jedi Council named her Adelyn. She was the Chosen One. In the five years that have followed her birth, she has been learning the powers of the Force. Come celebrate our young padawan's 5th birthday with us!

At least, that's what the sign on our front door said on Sunday. We had a small family birthday party for Addie's 5th birthday at our house with a Star Wars theme, because, most 5 year old girls are into Jedi and lightsabers. The cool ones, anyway. :-)



Yoda brought his scotch, so he was ready to party...

There was some pizza eating, lightsaber sparring, cake and ice cream gobbling, and of course gift opening!



Who doesn't want a cake with Darth and Luke battling it out?

The birthday girl (with our version of Princess Leia hair) and Gage wearing their party shirts. Gage's has Chewbacca wearing sunglasses on it!

  

  

  

  



A little playtime with the new action figures from the top of the cake. She was ready to take them off to play as soon as she saw them!

   

Ain't that the truth?



Uncle Matt does it again! He always brings the "it" gift. Star Wars Operation in this case.

  



Another fave. R2D2 backpack. It's almost as big as she is, but so fun! She loved it so much, she took to carrying it around like...



a baby!



 And for the final gift of the day, a special scavenger hunt surprise from Mommy and Daddy...

Looking for a clue in the pantry...



There were 4 clues, each written in the "voice" of a Star Wars character- Yoda, Princess Leia, R2D2 & C3P0, and Darth Vader. Each clue was actually a puzzle piece; she is putting them together in the picture above. And once she had the puzzle all done, we flipped it over to reveal...



We're going to Disneyland!
We have been planning this trip for such a long time, it was so hard to keep it a secret from her! We will be at Disneyland on the date of her actual birthday and we have some fun stuff planned, so stay tuned!

Happy 5th Birthday to our little Boog! We love you so much!
