Since we are all about Star Wars at our house, it was a big hit. I learned that you have to be careful in telling your friends and family of your child's likes and dislikes because inevitably all the gifts point toward that interest. :) We now have Star Wars costumes, computer game, little people with little parts and pieces, and most importantly - mulitiple light sabers, but this is OK. We definitely need more than one for the epic battles that will be taking place in the backyard.
Battle #1 - Darth Vader & Clone Trooper
We will also need more than one anytime a certain uncle T is in town because I am sure that he will need to participate in said battles.
PJ also scored at her brother's birthday party since we were out of town for her birthday. She got the cutest little fall jogging outfit and a precious and soft baby doll. Her loving aunt then thought it would be really funny to put her in the birthday bag since she was trying to climb into it anyway - and it was funny.
As you can see above, PJ has an affinity for anything soft. Soft things elicit a sweet little, " OH -ho-ho -ohhhh." You can see this face below - my bff JR captured it perfectly!
She also had a mommy made birthday cake based on a much loved bunny she got from her Gram. I'm getting the hang of this cake thing. I probably couldn't sell them, but I don't think they're too bad!
Hopefully far down the road they won't feel slighted because they didn't have store bought cakes, well except for DT's birthday last year. I figured since I had recently given birth to PJ that I got a get-out-of-making-the-cake pass. All others have been made and lovingly decorated by mom. ;o)
