Shawn's 7th Birthday

Shawn has turned seven! Where does the time go?! This year, we threw him a Star Wars party. He is Star Wars everything right now. We had his Party a couple Saturdays ago - we could not have had better weather - sunny and mid to upper seventies.

Shawn dressed up as Luke Skywalker for his party! Thankfully Halloween is right around the corner!

I spent hours preparing for this party! I had sugar cookies in the cutout faces of Darth Vader, Yoda and Storm Trooper. (thanks Williams Sonoma!). I had the help of Charlene to dip pretzel rods and roll them in colored sugar to look like lightsabers! Red Doritios were Vader chips and Blue were Jedi Chips. For the adults we had Darkside chips and salsa (blue corn tortilla chips!). Matt worked his magic working the grill. "Jedi Juice" was available to quench your thrist!

The cake was a line of cupcakes decorated to resemble Luke ad Vaders lightsabers! I had several games planned, but as kids will be kids, they were happy playing in the backyard and playing football.

Matt did an awesome job keeping me sane and working Ethan over! He definnitely keeps us on our toes!

We are so proud of our Shawn-boy! He is excelling in school and soccer! He has so much tenacity with all that he puts his mind too. He sets a great example for Ethan and we can see all teh potential that lies inside of him.

We love you Shawnie-man!

























































Shawns actual birthday was a Monday night and we celebrated when Mom was able to come home from work. He opened gifts from his Grandparents and mom and dad. We bought a small ice cream cake for that night and I brought in cupcakes to school for his class that day. Overall, I think he had a GREAT day!
