Birthday Party

Jack had a great birthday yesterday! We decorated the house Saturday night for his birthday and Dan wrapped his presents (we hadn't found wrapping paper, so Jack got his presents wrapped in a Bangali newspaper - how many kids can say that about their 5th birthday?)! Megan woke Jack up on his birthday Sunday by sing Happy Birthday to him and ending with Cha-cha-cha, Kumbaya, Hi-Yah, which we continued all day and added Sawatdee Kah, Kap Khun Kah! Jack liked that his sister woke him up by singing Happy Birthday :) Then we all got to come downstairs and he unwrapped his presents! He got a Star Wars X-wing and characters as well as a DS Indian Jones game from us, a remote control helicopter, nerf gun and nerf basketball hoop from Grammy and Grandad, a cool outfit (which he wore for his party under his Jedi robe) and a Transformer plane guy from Mom Mom and Pappy and a cool game (Rush Hour) from the De Vidos! So fun!

Jack got to choose his meals for his birthday and this is what he chose: Cereal for breakfast (Cereal!). He chose Cookie Crisp. He wanted 2 red breads and 1 cheese for lunch (with ramen noodles). And then, we let him choose a restaurant for dinner. He chose Pinocchio's Pizza for dinner. He wanted a cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza, a salad and an orange soda!


Jack's "Jedi Training Academy" Party went off without a hitch! We had 5 friends + our 3 here and it was a blast! When they came in, we dressed them in the Jedi Robes we made and gave them each a light saber we borrowed from our neighbors! (10 light sabers between 3 families - impressive)! Then we played Star Wars Bingo, Pin the Light saber on Yoda, Jedi Obstacle Course , Death Star Pinata and Use the Force to keep the balloon in the air! We opened presents, ate cake and chocolate ice cream and played until the parents came! They got to take home goodie bags that Megan and Jack had decorated and keep their Jedi robes! So fun and fun to meet some of the kids from Jack's class!

To finish off the day, we got to watch some more scenes (not the whole movie, don't worry) from Star Wars episode 2! We had a great day celebrating Jack, having fun, eating cake and hanging out with friends! Happy 5th Birthday Jack!!!
