Bryson's Star Wars Birthday

Because Bryson has gone through so much this past year and we are so grateful to have him be healthy we decided to do a big celebration for his birthday. I usually do a kids/friends party and then a dinner for family, but this year I decided to do it all together. We had it at the church which was nice because it had lots of room for the kids to fight. I loved the invitations. Eric did such an awesome job. I will put them up later, but when I was looking for ideas there were some on youtube which changed the beginning credits of star wars to make it invite the friends and talk about the birthday boy as a young padawan having a jedi training. We put them on a cd and delivered them to the kids. I made light sabers out of swim noodles and the kids loved fighting with each other. At the party we did a mock disneyland jedi training. Eric trained all the kids to fight against darth vader and then we had darth vader come and all the kids got to fight against him. (Darth Vader was a guy from Eric's work that also came to the hospital when Bryson was sick.)

My family was in town for a family reunion so it was nice to see them and have them come to the party and support Bryson
