Collin's 5th Birthday Celebrations

(Warning...picture overload to follow! ha!)

We were so thrilled to celebrate Collin's 5th birthday!  Still can't believe my firstborn is 5 years old!  We love him so much!  We started off his birthday morning with some streamers, pancakes and presents.  He was pretty excited.  Carter got him a new Star Wars clone, and mommy and daddy got him some army men/tanks and a new light up razor spark scooter.  

That evening after daddy got home we celebrated with cake, more presents and then went to the theater to watch Star Wars Episode I in 3D!  The boys were super excited.  It was my first 3D movie!  I'm almost embarrassed to admit that! ha!  We gave Collin the remainder of his presents which were Anakin's Podracer ship and a Boba Fett gun.  He was pretty excited.

We even got Carter a new Darth Vader shirt so he could wear that to the movie. :-)

Headed to the movie in their Star Wars attire! :-)  Love these 3 so much!

The boys did so good at the movie.  We were the only ones there too!  It was nice.  Collin kept his glasses on the whole time and just sat there mesmerized.  Carter kept his on for half the time and entertained himself with popcorn, candy and playing games on my phone. :-) 

After having to reschedule Collin's party twice because of the flu, we were finally able to have his party the Friday night after his birthday on Tuesday.   We went a little more low key this year and just had a small family party.  Star Wars theme of course.  I had all of Collin's favorite things and tried to incorporate them around the Star Wars theme.  I got a lot of great ideas from different sites on Pinterest.  

We had such a good time until the flu bug struck Carter....again...halfway through the party.  We quarantined him to the back bedroom watching a movie for the rest of the evening.  Poor little fella.   

Collin still had a great time though!

Me-Ma and Pa-Pa got him a new pitching machine!  He has really enjoyed that and looks so stinkin' cute doing it. :-)
