A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...


Much to the delight of Joe and I, Luca and Court have fallen under the spell of Star Wars. We have light sabers galore and Luca (aka Princess Leia) and Court (aka Darth Vader) frequently reenact scenes or write new ones of their own. The cousins, Isaiah and Isla and friends, Cole and Miya are equally fascinated so the Mommies decided to have a Star Wars viewing party.

You can't have a party without snacks so the kids made pretzel light sabers...
 ...(after taste-testing the pretzels of course)...
 ...and Tie-Fighter cookies...
 ...and we bought some "Leia Buns".

And a little dress-up always makes things special.
 At the Party
 The Leia's (who knew that an extra large turtleneck and a belt make a perfect Leia dress?)
 The Jedi
 The snack bar: Jedi Juice, Death Star Donut Holes, Popcorn Mechanical Hands, Wookie Cookies,...
 Storm Trooper Marshmallows, Han Solo Carbonite Jello and Ewok Gummies.
 Ready for the show
 Three buddies
 It was a success!
