Ok, so I skipped a few birthdays - Tony's, Lucy's, mine...but here's some pictures from Alexander's party. We celebrated his 5th birthday at Enchanted Island at Encanto Park in Phoenix. This was where we did his 4th birthday, and he had such a good time and it really was affordable for what you got, so I gladly took him back. The Bigleys and Dawsons were there, along with his best friend from church, Cameron. 
Alex chose a Star Wars Lego theme. As popular as this is, it's not easy to find party supplies, so I had to make my own. I downloaded cover art for the games and turned it into a printout I could either insert between two plastic plates or paste onto a cup. I made light sabers for each child out of pool noodles and shiny duct tape. And I visited more than a few Walmarts searching for the Star Wars Lego tshirts in the various sizes so all the boys could have one. I even went to the Lego store in Chandler so I could choose a "kit" to serve as a cake topper. Charlie put it together for me. All in all, I thought it was a fun party.
From his cousins Joe Leo and Patricia, he received a collection of Bakugan balls. He's been asking for these since Christmas. I don't know how he knows about them or what to do with them, but boy was he excited to FINALLY get some. From his Bigley cousins (and godmother), he received a Darth Vader and Obi Wan outfit for his build-a-bear, complete with light sabers and boots. It was 
funny because one of the other kids mentioned that he got a Luke Skywalker. Just as Aunt Eileen was about to correct him, Alex yelled "No, it's Obi Wan Kenobi and HE'S MY FAVORITE!!!". It was funny. From his friend Cameron, he received a Transformer Star Wars ship. He and Charlie have had quite a bit of fun playing with that.

Aside from the travel to get to the park, this was a great place to have a party. They take care of everything and there's lots of rides. The park is mostly enclosed so it's a little easie
r to keep track of everyone, so it's a little more comfortable than a bigger area.
