So on Saturday, Josh and I went to Everett's 6th birthday party- with a Star Wars theme. My family insisted that we be there before 3 o'clock for the "big surprise" but we didn't expect what we got! Taisley found a group of people who will, for a charitable donation, dress in Star Wars costumes and come to your party. I can't imagine what the neighbors thought when they saw 9 fully Star Wars-clad fanatics walking down the street but I know what I thought! "Holy crap, that's the coolest thing I've ever seen!"
We had Darth Vader, Anakin, Jango Fett, snow troopers, storm troopers, imperial guards, and other characters I didn't even recognize! TOTALLY AMAZING! Judging by their poor
performance of "Vader Says" and Star Wars trivia, I think the kids were a little intimidated by the costumes. And poor Everett was stiff as a board the whole time! It was adorable.

Everett: "......." (nods head, wide eyed)
And as if the surprise visit wasn't enough, Taisley also made the most
freaking amazing R2D2 cake. Awesome party, Taisley, we're hiring you to plan Josh's party in April! (sadly, I don't think he'd be even a tiny bit disappointed). Here's the website of the group, in case any of you decide to host your own Star Wars party. http://alpinegarrison.com/




OH. MY. GOSH.
That is pretty much the BEST birthday EVER.
I respect your family infinitely more, now. ;)
