Happy New Year!

On New Years Eve we had Cole's friend birthday/New Years Eve slumber party. What fun we had! He invited 3 close friends, and we all had a really good time. They played their favorite Star Wars battle game complete with Lightsabers and nerf Clone guns. They chased each other around outside with Lightsabers and had a great time. We had pizza for dinner and then when it got dark we went outside and sat around the fire pit making smores. I guess that was the camp ground where they could go for a break as they continued playing their Star Wars battle game, haha.

Then they played Legos inside and took turns on the Wii. Alexander is awesome on the Wii and beat everyone at bowling until Dylan played against him and wound up beating him. Dylan was the champ at Wii bowling. I think they bruised Nick's ego a bit cause he told them they aren't allowed to play the Wii with him anymore when they come over again. He's joking of course, but he didn't seem to take it well when the boys beat him. I thought it was quite funny! :) I wish I would have taken pictures of them playing the Wii, but I was having too much fun watching them! :)

We had a cool Star Wars cake and ate that and opened up presents at about 9pm. Dylan fell asleep around 10pm only to be woken up by Mason before Midnight so that he could ring in the New Year with everyone. They went outside at Midnight and made tons of noise. I had horns and noise makers for them and those confetti party poppers. Finally they all fell asleep around 12:30am. Ahh, finally it was quiet! ;)

The next morning I made pancakes and eggs for everyone and they continued their fun Star Wars battle game outside in their jammies. They didn't even sleep that late. They were up around 8:30am. What? I thought they'd sleep in after staying up so late the night before.

Here's the 4 of them playing their Star Wars game. They all took turns wearing the helmet. In this picture, Mason is the one wearing it.

Here they are watching and helping Cole open his presents.

Check out that cake! A lady in my ward made it. It's the volcano scene with Anakin and Obi Wan from the Star Wars 3 movie. It had lava and white chocolate mountains even. It wound up being a little bigger than she had planned, but it was so cool! The boys were a bit excited I think. :)

Here is our Birthday Jedi! :) I can't believe my little boy is 10! Where has the time gone? We love you Cole! :)
