Star Wars party...

We had a 'partial' surprise 40th birthday party for my brother this past weekend. Since this was one of the few milestone birthdays, we knew we needed to have a little fun with it. My brother grew up in the age of Star Wars. I remember flipping through one of the pre-Laura photo albums at my parents house, and viewing images of his Star Wars themed 7th birthday. With this childhood obsession in mind,  my mom, sister, and I coordinated with my sister-in-law to create a fun Star Wars flashback party. Though he knew we were having a small gathering, my brother had no idea that we were going to rework part of his house into the Death Star. There were tons of costumes, multiple light sabers, a Darth Vader pinata, an R2D2 cake, a water gun war, and of course a photo booth. A fun time was definitely had by all members of both the Rebel Alliance and the Empire.
