For this year's party Japheth chose (cue music) Lego Star Wars. (As you may have guessed off of the last post). I was feeling a bit nervous about things this year since everything is feeling new, but it was a lot of fun and much like birthday celebrations back home (which I really have to stop calling home since it isn't home anymore).

But on to the fun; they came in as Padawans and left as Master Jedi. As part of their rigorous training they played: Yoda Says...
Pin the light saber on Yoda (to practice using the force/Jedi mind tricks)...
Took a snack break to keep up energy...
 |
| Death Star cupcakes and Light Sabers aka popsicles |
Then tried the force again by finding the right sting to open the pinata. It was seriously the last one they pulled (don't know how we managed that). Xander was so excited; he knew it was his turn and that it was the last one, he just ran up and yanked it!
After everything we decided that it was time, they had earned their light sabers. So one last training of keep the balloon off the ground using the light sabers...
to get them ready for...

| Xander insisted I take a picture of him eating his popsicle. You have to concentrate hard to do it right? |
