Jack's Jedi Academy Birthday Party

Better late than never...

I am overdue to post pictures from Jack's STAR WARS Birthday Party.  Queue music (da dum di dum dum di dummm...)

The young padawans joined us for Jedi Training Academy.  They resuced a carbonite Han Solo; fought off Darth Vadar; and learned how to use a REAL LIGHT SABER (ha hum...)  This party was so easy to put together and a whole lot of fun!  I was never a Star Wars fan but after watching both trilogies and preparing for this party I am slowing coming to appreciate the force!

The Decorations:

Foyer converted into Jedi Welcome Center ;)

Each Padawan picked up his light saber upon entering the Training Center

Jedi Robes for the Padawans (notice the cute Yoda decal)

Little surprise touches courtesy of Jack's toys ;)

Yoda Mirror Cling!

Light Saber napkin ring printouts and star confetti kept the table decorations low key!

 

The Food:

Best part of Star Wars party is naming the food...Yoda Soda; Droid Dip; Fruit Saber; Chewbacca Chips; Vadar Veggies and Padawan Popcorn.  Whimsical without even trying!

Yoda Soda is lime sorbet and Sprite.  Blue Sugar rimmed the glasses!

Popcorn in mini containers...so cute!!!

 The Sweets:


Wookie Cookies.  William Sonoma cookie cutters made this easy!

Simple Cake!

Easy peasy light Sabers.

 The Fun:

Our Master Jedi supervised the Padawans

While another Master Jedi trained the Padawans in the art of the Force! 

The graduating Padawans with their Trainer!

Ah...the new Jedi's refueled and look pleased!

Jack's best bud...Michael!

This Jedi gave the Training Academy two thumbs up...Check out his big gift...the Falcon (my fingers are still bleeding from helping to put it together....)

Happy Birthday Jack!  I can't believe you are SEVEN!!!  I am so PROUD of the young man you are becoming.  You are such an honest, responsible, sweet, considerate, thoughtful boy with a sly sense of humor, a playful personality and enough wit and logic to challenge most adults.  I love you Jack!!!! 

xoxoxo,
