A birthday party, second to none

We were lucky to help our friend Will—formerly "Little Will"—celebrate his fifth birthday today. And Will's parties never disappoint. This year, all the kids attended Jedi training with Obi Wan Schmeltz.
Their first lesson was to master the light saber by keeping space orbs afloat.
Padawan Will (the birthday boy) then led the journey through a tunnel to collect asteroids.
Proof they were almost ready, the kids helped each other build a bridge over a lava pit to save Master Yoda.
And the final challenge: defeat Darth Vader.
The young Jedis are victorious!
To the victors go the spoils: a cake fit for a Jedi!
We had *so* much fun, even before the Yoda Soda started pouring. :) And Christen and Trace, you set the bar high—we can only hope to have such a cool party someday. Happy birthday Will!
