I made Logan's R2-D2 cake the night before, so it was a surprise for him when he woke up. First thing in the morning, Bryan had taken the kids downstairs to make them breakfast, and I was about to get in the shower, when Logan came running up the stairs shouting,
"MOM, MOM! THERE'S AN R2-D2 CAKE IN THE KITCHEN!!! COME SEE, COME SEE!"
He grabbed my hand and dragged me down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"SEE? SEE? AN R2-D2 CAKE!!!"
I've never seen anyone so excited for a cake! Seeing him like that made me forget all the stress and hair-pulling aggravation of the long night before. Then he sat down at the table and said, "I'm going to sit here so I can look at it." And then he just sat there and looked at his cake. Sweetest. Kid. Ever. I'll make a cake for you anyday, Buddy!
Since Logan turned four, he was allowed to invite four friends. Andrew is a brother, so he's a freebie. Here are the party animals eating "Pizza the Hutt" and "Yoda Soda": Andrew, Wesley, Brigham, Gavin, Emma, and Logan.
Bryan provided all the entertainment for the party by making balloon lightsabres for the kids... 
...and then conducting "lightsabre training" for the younglings. Impressive, huh?This was pretty much what the rest of the party looked like. We had planned to do other games (the same ones we did for Andrew's Star Wars party), but they were having so much fun with the balloons, that we just them them play.
When the parents arrived, it was time for cake. I tried to get an action shot of Logan blowing out the candles on R2-D2, but of course, it turned out mega-blurry, so this is the best we have.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOGAN!!!
As I'm finishing this post, Logan is sitting on my lap saying, "We should do my party again, Mom!"

That is one amazing cake!!!! WOW!! Jason saw it and asked if you'd make him one for his birthday, too... it's in February so it wouldn't be anytime soon. Is it all cake or are there some fake parts? That is incredible!
