Guss Turns 9

Guss turned 9 on March 30.  He was very excited for his birthday and he had big plans for it.  Dad was out of town on a submarine but I think the rest of us made it a good day for him.  He asked for white cake with raspberry filling and chocolate frosting.  Star Wars is his big obsession right now and so when I found some Star Wars cupcake wrappers and toppers at Williams and Sonoma I knew that was his cake for this year.  We had orange rolls for breakfast, which is one of his favorites and then I took cupcakes in for his class.  Lucas and Chloe were ready to stay for the rest of the day and they were not happy when I made them leave.  Right after school we did cake and presents with our family.  Then after a little play time we went to McDonalds for dinner.  Lastly, we went to cub scouts and took the last of our cupcakes to share with our friends there.  I think he had a good day and really enjoyed all of his loot.

There they are.  All 48 Star Wars cupcakes. 

The battle between good and evil goes sweet.

Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Bobba Fett, Darth Vader

and a Storm Trooper get ready to battle it out on this side of the cupcake stand.

Yoda prepares to use the force on the Dark Side up front.

Happy Birthday!!!

It takes a lot of power to blow out 9 candles, especially when they are trick candles.

This is a lot of loot.

Legos, alright!!!

Darth Vader and Yoda action figures.

General Grievious and R2-D2.

Star Wars lunch box to hold all the action figures.

It says, "A Wookie ate my homework."  I couldn't pass it up.

Lastly, we have Obi Wan.

We are so glad to have Guss in our family.  He is our bookworm.  He loves to learn and share what he knows with others.  Guss can often be found building with Legos or setting up battle scenes with his Star Wars action figures.  He is a great big brother and is a great help with Owen, Chloe and Lucas. 

Guss we love you!!!
