Bryan is used to sharing his birthday with Bryce. And, as we get older, our birthdays just aren't the big deal that they used to be. So of course it's no biggie for Bryan to share the spotlight. Well, Bryan doesn't really have any of the spot light. It all goes to Bryce!
This year on Bryan's birthday we were in Canada with his parents and Dave and Lindsay. That will be a separate post since Bryan and I went all papparazzi and took bazillion pictures. Like we were tourists or something. But for his birthday Bryan got to choose where we ate, and even though we had to find the darn place, we ended up eating a restaurant called Sauce, which had amazing food and the atmosphere was pretty good too!
Bryan at Sauce - of course there are onion rings on his plate!!
When we got back from Canada we had our traditional combined family party. I love this tradition! My Aunt Jodi and Uncle Ron and their kids come, my parents, Carissa and Adam and their crazies, Dave and Lindsay, and this time we were spoiled to have Karen and Robyn here too! We had the "golf course" cupcakes (Yes, I made these a couple years ago) that Bryce insisted we have. We opened presents, ate ice cream, and hung out. It was lots of fun and the birthday boys got some good presents!
For Bryce, he got a whole stinking party to himself! We only do birthday parties for our kids every other year. And this year is the year of the parties! Bryce really wanted a Star Wars party and so I did my best, and I think it turned out pretty fun. The kids had a blast and Bryce was really excited to have his friends over.
Storm Trooper cupcakes. Thanks Pinterest!
Pin the light saber on Darth Vader!
They all looked like Dark Helmet from Spaceballs :)
As you can see, Rix "won" although he sort of admitted he could see "but only a little bit!"
Jake was having a great time with the wrapping paper!
Bryce made out like a bandit :)
We let the kids design their own light sabers out of pool noodles. They were under strict instructions to only hit other light sabers - not people!
Yoda Soda :) We get a lot of requests for it now. However, we don't always have the fixings for it.
I was SO glad to find a Darth Vader pinata. I didn't realize that they don't make "bash 'em up" pinatas anymore - but it was fun just the same!
Doesn't Carissa look like she's fishing for dark lords? She even looks bored like fishermen do!
I LOVE Cole's face in this picture. It's how we all feel when pinatas break open!

Can we say mom of the year? You put me to shame (not hard to do)! Kade keeps asking about coming to Washington cause we hate missing stuff like this! I love you and your cute family!!!
Ok so not only do your kids have more people show up to their parties, they are so much cooler than the parties I throw. I'll be contacting you as a pro bono party planned for Aubrey's party in October :)
