Christopher LOVES Star Wars, so it was a Star Wars-themed party! Christopher's dad even arranged an academy-style Jedi training session in which each Padawan received a lightsaber and got to train with Master Yong-Wan-Lee-Obi, who showed impressive lightsaber skills of his own!
o
o
The Padawans were remarkably well-behaved.
o
But their skills were about to be tested by a surprise visitor! (Movie)
o
Christopher was the first to challenge the Dark Lord of the Sith (surprise: it was Derek!)
o
We hadn't told our kids that Daddy would be playing Darth Vader, but unlike Luke Skywalker, Deacon suspected it from the start.
o
The epic battle, father and son.
o
...and daughter!
o
Vader tried to lure them to the dark side, but they drove him away!
o
Victorious, each of the Padawans earned a certificate to go with their lightsaber!
o
Deacon in a Luke-like pose. (I know, Star Wars fans, I know, Luke's lightsaber is really blue! Or green!)
o
The cool thing about having a birthday party in Burbank is that one of the dads/a real Disney animator might doodle a picture of you on a tablecloth!
o
As if the Jedi Academy training session wasn't exciting enough, we then hiked up to the top of the Verdugo mountains and could see just about all of Los Angeles! Here are Lori, Yong and Christopher, on top of the world.
o
Lori and Terri, wives of Jedi and Sith.
o
Deacon contemplates taking flight.
o
In the car on the way home, Deacon announced that he wants to have his birthday party there, too. But instead of fighting Darth Vader, the kids could be cavemen with clubs fighting a Woolly Mammoth. He insists it'll be no problem for Daddy to come up with THAT costume!
o
We had a great day, and wish Christopher a very happy 5th birthday!
