This was the first time that we had a "real" birthday party for Lincoln, and he requested a Star Wars-themed party WELL in advance. Nana was visiting with us for the week and helped me prepare all the fun things for the party.
Each kid got a special Padawan robe to wear, and got to customize their own Lightsaber (pool noodle and duct tape):
The littlest Padawan, cousin Lily:
Then they had to complete a special obstacle course to get to the Death Star:
They flew their spacecraft into the Death Star:
And then had to battle the evil Darth Vader:
(Ryan was a very good sport and took quite a beating from the kids) haha:)
Linc got to claim a new Lightsaber as his prize for defeating Lord Vader!
The Vader-beating continued with a go at the pinata:
Star Wars cupcakes and cookies for the birthday boy:
A goodie bag for all the kids:
It was a great party and so wonderful to have so many family members join us for the fun! First party will be considered a success!!
(Pleased mommy, also sporting Star Wars shirt and baby belly) :)
Lincoln, you are a great Jedi and son! We know you will continue to use your powers for good as a big brother and son and keep improving your skills. We love you, big five year-old!!

what a fun party! you are a such a good mom. :) loved the picture of you with your baby belly.
Oh stop it! Could you or your party-throwing skills get any cuter? That was impressive stuff! I'm not even going to toy with the idea of Ryder being there because it will make me sad :( Just today in the car we were talking about how much we miss you guys! I think I'm going to start demanding some more blog updates ;)
Linc said today that he missed Ryder and that "New Jersey was the place" for him. Every time he falls or gets hurt he blames it on California.
what a fun fun and creative party!!!
