Maxwell is 5 Years OLD. Let that sink in. That means I have been a mom for 1,825 days! Actually slightly more because I am writing this post about a month late. But hey, better late than never:). We are so proud of the little boy he has become. Some days we can’t believe how mature he is and others, well he is only 5. haha. We had landed on a Star Wars theme for Maxwells party a couple months before his birthday because he was in such a phase. Then quarantine happened and he started digging out all of his old toys again. I am pretty sure he wanted another dinosaur party by the time his birthday actually arrived. haha. Whatever, you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit!!! Jk, Jk, I considered switching themes but truthfully I was kind of excited about the stuff I had gotten to decorate, etc. He LOVED it all anyways and had the best time! Here are some of the fun party details!
I’m so bummed because I did not get a good picture but we made Aperol Spritz’s with BIG Star Wars Ice Cubes. These are the molds/trays we used! They were delicious.
I’m pretty sure Max’s favorite part was the HUGE water slide!!! It was such a hot day we actually switched to the water slide version of a bounce house at the last minute.

One of my favorite parts was all the fun yard games we had! If you are local you must try out Backyard Shenanigans!!! They bring all of these jumbo yard games to you for a rental fee and even come to pick them up. It was so seamless and brought hours of entertainment.
One of my biggest party tips, if someone offers to help, take the help!!! lol. My neighbor made this delicious and very cool cake for Max.
And our friend Rob, made this Death Star Watermelon Fruit Salad.
I personally LOVE having a piñata at any party. I just think it adds such an element of fun no matter the age. This particular one is from Megans Piñata’s. She makes all of her piñatas and they are AWESOME!!!
Here are some of the goods we shoved into the piñata!

I love this picture. It’s when my kids saw the ballon wall with the storm troopers for the first time. They thought it was so cool!
The kids gave out these light sabers for treat bag items! Didn’t get a good pic of this either. I was obviously having too much fun.
Cheers to another year!
XOXO,
