May the 4th Be With You

Clare, who hadn't even heard of Star Wars a week ago,
was THRILLED to be Princess Leia at her cousin's birthday party.

Our nephew, Will, who was born on May 4th ("National Star Wars Day")

celebrated his fourth birthday with a Star Wars Party.

Clare and Maria (the only girls in the Hillary Gang) were both Princess Leia.

Isaac had no costume and no desire to play along.

For the most part, he was running around on his own...

away from the masses of sabres and swords.

He wasn't without fun or flight.

I was very excited to meet our newest nephew (and godson), Frankie,

and to snuggle his little buns. 

Phil enjoyed cuddling with him as well.

Phil had the magic touch because Frankie fell right asleep in Phil's cozy cuddle. 

Can't blame him.

Just a glimpse of the fun and festivities.

Isaac was NOT a fan of the pinata.  He wanted nothing to do with it, and he screamed everytime someone hit it.  Hence...a lot of screaming. 

Candy Collecting = Controlled Chaos

For weeks, Clare has been excited to see her aunts and uncles.

Here, with Uncle Adam, you can see why!

We have one more week in Michigan,

and every day is sure to be packed with fun.
