Today we celebrated Camden's 6th birthday at JW Tumbles . We had twenty of Camden's closest friends, yes TWENTY! I didn't expect that everybody we invited, with the exception of one child would actually come. Doug kept telling me to invite more than twenty because not everyone would be able to come and well...we are paying for up to twenty so... Let's just say we had a good turnout! I know twenty is such a huge number. God has brought so many neat people into our lives that have become Camden's buddies and from so many different areas. From Doug & mines college days, church, preschool, China adoption buddies, neighborhood, neighborhood swim team and now elementary school. We are blessed!
Since one of his favorite things these days is Star Wars. I did attempt a bit of a Star Wars themed party. We had the usual commercial themed paper products, much to Doug's chagrin as well as a Star Wars cake & cupcakes, Darth pinata and some Star Wars parting gifts. Besides that the kids spent two hours running around like freaks, playing games, climbing the climbing wall and doing the zip line (which is Cam's favorite part). Everyone was sweaty and stinky (including me) at the end which I think is the sign of a good party!

The birthday boy!
Can you tell what it is? Ok, I'll tell you...It's supposed to be R2-D2.
I cheated a bit here by using R2-D2, C3-P0, Chewy and Darth rings as the cupcake toppers.
Here are all the kiddo getting ready to play a few games. 
Here are just a few pics of the many friends that joined us to celebrate.
One of the highlights of the party was the Darth Pinata which was Camden's big wish for his party. Of course I had grand plans to make a homemade Death Star pinata. But as usual I ran out of time (or have poor time management skills) and headed to our neighborhood party store for this one. The kids didn't seem to mind. They enjoyed whacking Darth with a light saber and of course getting way to much candy at the end.
Ahh..the classic blowing out of the candles!
