Egan's Birthday!!!!!!

Egan had is 4th Birthday! Be prepared tons and tons of pictures! Of course we had a Star wars themed party because it just happens to be Egan's favorite thing right now. Here is Egan wearing one of his "Party Hats" obviously a Darth Vader mask. The table cloth had 3d characters and spaceships on it so when you wore the mask, or 3d glasses it was neat. Egan opening his presents with his aunt and uncles. Pay no attention to the chunky lady next to him. We played pin the light saber on Luke Skywalker. Evelyn is so funny when she's dizzy. Just a few of the zillion star wars toys Egan got. (taken the morning after) Thanks to everyone for donating to his ever growing toy pile. Car sets, dinosaurs, toy tools, books, and homemade head gear were also part of the hysteria. So, I spent a long time planning for this cake. I tried to make the cake look like a spaceship cut in half horizontally. I colored, cut, and laminated cardboard pieces for the "wings?" The cake was chocolate fudge with a cherry filling and just plain vanilla frosting. I used a little chocolate frosting for decoration. I got on Ebay and found these great figurines for a deal. They originally came from Disneyland and were still in the package. Included in the package was of course Darth Vader, R2, C3p0, a star trooper, a bounty hunter, chewie, an Ewok and of course Yoda. In planning for the pinata, I made a star ship like the one Luke Skywalker flies. Unfortunately the whole thing was made with card board and extremely solid, so... I made a death star out of just paper mache and a balloon. Egan Loves the "space ship" Its still holding strong. Its amazing what you can make with paper mache and a little paint.
