The Party

Today was the much anticipated birthday party.  It was Jayson's first party ever and he was so excited!  It made it all worth it.

He invited 8 friends.  We had a big blow up toy to play on.

It was a Star Wars party (surprise!). 
We had light sabers made from pool noodles. The kids loved them and no one got hurt, because well, it is hard to get hurt from a noodle.
Gotta love a little masking tape & noodles.  They worked perfectly.


We had "YODA's SODA's" (green sherbet and sprite).  The kids loved those as well.  We also had a pinata, and then played a few games with balloons and their faux light sabers. The rest of the time they played outside in the pool.

For the cake, I didn't have a ton of time, so I made a light saber cake.  It was pretty easy. I am grateful for all of his friends that came.  It totally made is whole day. Tonight, when I tucked him in, he said "I love you Mom.  Thanks for making it the best day ever."  Those words made it ALL worth it.
