We celebrated Cade's 5th Birthday with a Star Wars Angry Bird Party !!!
Look at this big boy! So proud of you !!
Standing by the dessert table!!! YUM ! Look at that cake! It turned out perfect and super delicious!!!
Wish I could take credit for it but a sweet, talented lady named Rachel that Chris used to work with made it for Cade. I sent her three pictures of what I was thinking of and she came up with a design that incorporated everything! The death star on top was chocolate kaluah with a cream filling and the bottom was vanilla with 4 layers of raspberry filling. Just amazing!!! Lily's Aunt Jessica worked on Lily's Leia Buns all morning before the party! They turned out perfect! It was fun to have Lily in character (ha).
To keep with the theme we had Hans Rolos, Wookie Cookies (star crunch cookies), Thermal Detonators (malt balls), Light Sabers ( twizzlers), Princess Leia Buns (cinnamon rolls) and Ewok Treats ( teddy grahams).
The Dark Side...
Kids tables had color pages and glow in the dark bracelets to keep them busy while we passed out the cake.
We were stocked with Yoda Soda and Vader-Ade!
And what is an Angry Bird Party without a slingshot!!! Chris built a slingshot for the party! It was a hit! Kids AND adults had so much fun with it!
Brodie came as King Pig :) LOVE IT !!
It was really windy and the boxes kept blowing over before the kids could sling shot them down (ha).
Cade and his buddies would stack them back up and stand behind them and dodge the balls flying their way. Such boys (ha)!
Dylan and Brodie decided it would be more fun to be the targets themselves (ha).

We had a lite- saber field that soon became a battle ground!
Aunt Kristel and Uncle Rick snuck in the back gate after their Muscular Dystrophy walk in Dallas. Such troopers to come to the party !
Gran decided to give the lite-sabers a shot.
Jax had a ball with the big kids! He held his own pretty good!!!
Rick planned a sneak attack and got Cade!!!
Time to sing Happy Birthday!!!
Birthday Boy getting embarrassed!
After cake the kids all lined up to take a swing at the pinata!
Birthday Boy got the first turn.
And a second turn :)
Once the little ones had a chance Ken and Chris put the blindfold on Lily since she was the first of the big kids to take her turn. She knocked the pinata down with one hit! You go girl!!
Mad rush for candy and golden eggs from the Angry Bird pinata.
Time to say goodbye...Cade and his soccer pal, Parker
Buds: Cole, Cade, Dylan The Force is Strong with these boys!
The party favors were star wars cups filled with candy, a small angry bird character and a sling shot!
Jax is sitting so patiently watching Cade open his presents!
We have a house divided in the Carter Family! UT and ATM fans and alumni. The Prosper crew is staying neutral until Cade and Lily choose their schools :) ha!

The next morning Pap Jack took Cade out so he could fly his glider.
We took mom and dad to Lucy's on the Square in Celina for brunch. We were all pretty worn out from the festivities the day before :)
What a fun weekend we had celebrating Cade's birthday with our family and friends!
We are so blessed ! Happy Birthday Little Man! We love you more than you know!!!
