Camden's birthday fell on Father's Day this year, and what with all the Cherry Festival excitement that weekend, we held off on having a party until this weekend. Since Camden was turning eight, he got to invite 8 guests, so we mailed out invitations and got to our planning. The theme, of course, was Star wars.
I found a great idea on the Internet to make light sabers out of pool noodles. My mom ended up doing most of the work on those and they came out just great. The boys loved them!
The party started with a bang, with a light saber frenzy on the front lawn.
Riley found a new best friend in Camden's buddy, Race
Riley got so wrapped up in all of the attention he was getting, he just decided he was one of the boys and joined right in the party
Camden requested an AT-AT Walker cake, and he declared this evening that it was his favorite birthday cake ever. Phew!
The boys eating cake and ice cream
Steve arranged for a bounce house to be delivered, and we totally lucked out when the bounce house people asked if they could deliver it a day early, free of charge. So, the boys had been bouncing for hours upon hours when this picture was taken. See that lump on the lawn, on the left of this picture? That's Riley - - he passed out cold after everyone left. The poor old pup was partied out. Camden had a great day!

I'm going to have to show these pictures to Declan. He would have been in heaven at that party-Tim too. The cake came out perfectly!
I took some pictures of the cake process for you...will post about that tomorrow.
Happy Birthday Camden! The boys must have loved having a Bounce House for an extra day!
Wow, what a party and what a cake! You always make every holiday and birthday so special for the boys (Riley included). I love the photo of him hanging out with Camden & his friends.
Hehe! Looks like a great day was had by all. Love those light sabers.
