A 5 year old STAR WARS Birthday

Chauncey has such a great time at his birthday party! All of his friends that he wanted there were, and they all had such a terrific time.
Upon arrival, Chauncey handed each of his friends thier very own light saber I made, that they took home with them. They kept the meteors(balloons) up with thier light sabers to practice. Then little Chauncey got to lead them in some fantastic Jedi training, where he taught them 3 or 4 of his favorite moves. I will try to get some of the video clips of this uploaded, you have to see it!

Then we did a craft while we waited for Darth Vader(Big Chauncey) to invade our planet. Then, one by one, they took turns jumping through the lava hole on meteors to get to fight Darth Vader and win the battle.

After that it was just cake presents and a pretty pathetic pinata I made.

I can't wait to do it again next year!

Gracie is still talking about "that scary guy" and the "lightsabers" and insisting we call her "Princess Jedi". The party was amazing! Thanks for letting me come!
