Carson turned 5! I can't believe it. Five seems like such a milestone birthday to me. I think mostly because 5 means he will start kindergarten this year and our lives will completely change. Also, he's my first and he's growing up and not my little baby/toddler anymore.
Carson couldn't have been more excited he's been asking about his birthday since Christmas ended. His actual birthday landed on a Sunday this year, so it was a nice quiet day spent at church and at home. He loved having all the primary kids sing happy birthday to him.
Then that weekend we were able to celebrate with friends at his Angry Birds Star Wars Birthday Party!
To start we colored some coloring pages and put angry bird stickers on our goody bags.
Then played pin the light saber on the angry bird
Practiced our target skills with nerf guns to get the darth vader pig and his storm trooper pigs
As well as our sling shot skills. We also had light saber fights (made from pool noodles), but unfortunately I didn't get a picture of that.
And of course everyones favorite; the pinata. We had to punch the enemy (darth vader pig) with the hulk hands.
I guess I made the pinata a little tougher this year since after everyone had a turn, and it had not broken yet, all the boys pounced on it by punching and jumping on it to break.
Then it was time for cake and presents.
I think it was a hit! Boys are pretty easy, give them guns and swords and you've pretty much won them over. The most important part though was that Carson loved it. Sure do love this boy of mine! Happy birthday Carson!
