Star Wars Sleep Over...



Last night Joe and I had the kids over for a "Star Wars Sleep Over"!!!! I had promised the kids that they could sleep over one night while Jaden was here. They are all OBSESSED with Star Wars, so I thought it would be fun to have a Star Wars party. They all came dressed up...

Audrey was Princess Leia



Carter was Obi-Wan Kenobi



Jaden was Luke Skywalker (Jaden is wearing Joe's Taekwondo shirt from when he was a kid..yes, he kept it..and the belt too!!)



Joe was Darth Vader



We had pizza for dinner and they ate on Darth Vader plates and drank from Darth Vader/Yoda cups. After dinner we played "pin the controls on Vader". It was really fun watching the kids play blind folded!! Audrey was the closest!!!



















The highlight of the night was when Joe put on his Darth Vader costume and came downstairs with his red light saber to fight the kids!! We even had music!! You've got to watch this video!!!












Afterwards we watched Stars Wars, Episode IV-A New Hope and ate popcorn. It was really funny because whenever the kids characters came on, especially during the fighting scenes, they had to reenact them!!!





























Before we went to bed, the kids opened their party bags!! They were filled with Star Wars stuff-stickers, yo-yo, coloring book, Darth Vader mask, candy, maze game and light up bracelets!!!















We then went to bed. It took a lot of convincing, but they finally took off their costumes and put on their pj's!! Don't worry, as soon as Jaden woke up, he put his Jedi costume back on!!!! The kids got up we had some breakfast and then played Lego Star Wars on X-Box and watched some more Star Wars movies!!!
