Whitney had a super fun birthday party! We had 8 kids show up, most of them in Star Wars attire! So fun! (But of course at the last minute Whitney decided to wear her SW shirt instead of the R2 or Jedi costumes...) When the kids arrived they got a Jedi Training Academy badge and a "light saber", and commenced "practicing their moves". This is Whitney, Will, Piper, and Tyson, moving so fast they were a blur! :)
Then we played a game where you had to use the Force to hit Darth Vader heads (Easter eggs) while blindfolded. And as we were finishing the game.... Darth Vader showed up!! (Eric of course!) He was quickly attacked my the young Padawans!
After trying to take down Whitney, Darth Vader was eventually overcome and surrendered.
After another game, the Padawans were ready for their final test- the Jedi Obstacle Course! This was the first obstacle- swinging over the pool of water- accomplished with the help of Jedi Master Derek! And here's a good place to say- THANK YOU Derek for all your help! He came early and helped me set up decorations and the obstacle course, then was so much help with the kids until Eric could get there! And after that even, so Eric could chase Owen around! It was cute, Derek was almost as excited as the kids to be at a Star Wars Party, and I couldn't have gotten everything done without him. Love having him close by!
The new Jedis enjoyed some Yoda Soda,
mini pretzel light sabers me and Whit made,
and Light saber cake,
(Courtney, Piper, Whit, Ellaina, and Reese)
and Leia cupcakes!
Whitney's friends gave her such cute presents, and she did a great job of being grateful :)
Overall it was GREAT! Oh and here's a pic of Kate in her Jedi robe I made for her (and one for Whitney). What a cute Jedi Master!
