Another Candle Added to the Cake

                                                      

AD and I went to Oklahoma City this past weekend for G4's 9th birthday party.

Being the Star Wars fan that Son is, he was extremely excited that G4 asked for a Star Wars cake.


There was light saber limbo. That's G4 going under the limbo saber and G3 preparing to. The little guy in the red cap was just too adorable!



Son made all the kids light sabers out of PVC pipe.


The "light" of each saber was made using duct tape. Each child got to choose the color they liked best.


They all really had a good playing with them.

Besides the cake and of course ice cream, Son made a couple of snack recipes using a Star Wars cookbook. (I took some photos and wanted to post at least one but for some reason blogger just won't bring it in.)

Happy Birthday, G4! Next year it's double digits for you.

    Happy Birthday to GS. Looks like everyone had a wonderful time. I love the original light sabers that your son made. How ingenious is that. Fun, fun and more fun.

    Love that cake as well. It is beautiful. Someone really went the extra mile on that. A cake any little Star War boy would love.

    What fun sweet friend. Thank you for taking me along to the birthday party. What fun. Have a wonderful week sweet friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

  6. I love to see their eyes light up when they love something homemade! I made my grandson a Harry Potter wand and a case to keep his "owl" in. He loved it! The cake is great and the smiles are even better!

  9. Great Idea on the light sabers. They will outlast the store bought kind, much cheaper, colorful, and individualized. Totally cool. The boys would still like them, even though they think they are getting too old for Star Wars.

  15. That reminded me of the light sabers my sons made from PVC pipe many years ago. I'm pretty sure that at least the older one was a teenager at the time, so your grandchildren may enjoy those light sabers for many years to come. Your son is an awesome dad.
