The Campbells: A Star Wars Birthday!

On the weekend of Rylee's birthday, we took her to the Houston Symphony for a Star Wars Concert. She loved it!

She thought the real live Storm Troopers and Jedi were amazing!

The concert was awesome and she loved the music and the conductor,
who was dressed up as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

For her birthday party we had to continue the Star Wars theme! Ryan made these adorable invitations!

I borrowed lots of Star Wars toys for decorations. For food we had Tie Fighter Pasta Salada(with bow tie pasta), Boba Fett Bruschetta(this recipe), Yodamole and Scooper Troopers, Ewok rolls(this recipe), Princess Lays chips, Jedi Dip, Vader Veggies, Obi-Wan Kabobies(fruit kabobs), Lightsaber Pretzles, Wookie Cookies, Nutrient Capsules(little smokies), and of course, cupcakes! Drinks included Yoda Soda(lime sherbert punch) and Wampa Water.

My mom made adorable food signs for all the snacks.

Artwork for cupcake toppers and invitations found here. I used this Vanilla Cupcakes recipe and my favorite chocolate cupcakes recipe

We had the just the right amount of games for such little people!

Pin the Lightsaber on the Jedi

Lightsaber training. They had to use their lightsabers to keep balloons up in the air.
I used this lightsaber tutorial

I found the cutest coloring pages! It was the perfect activity while taking turns in
the photo booth.

She did not like the flame on the candle.

Yes, she got real cake this year!

She loved the Star Wars blanket I made her.

Opening presents!

Her favorite present: a Star Wars card that played the theme
music. She thought it was amazing and ran around opening and
closing it saying "Star Wars!" and then would giggle. She was done with presents
at that point.

We had a little photo booth with props and costumes. Some of the littles loved it, others were kind of nervous about the huge Darth Vader and Storm Trooper.
