Star Wars

Elliott has become quite a fan of Star Wars lately. When I saw the advertisement for a Star Wars Party at a local bookstore this weekend, I knew we had to attend. And the timing worked out well for Elliott to wear his new Storm Trooper costume. He has started getting an allowance so he combined his savings with some money he received for his preschool graduation, and we ordered his costume on eBay. On Thursday, he saw the mailman pull into the driveway and ran out of his room screaming "My costume is here!"

On Saturday, Elliott donned his costume and borrowed blaster gun and we headed off to the bookstore. We saw his cousin Princess Leia AKA Sophia and they had their picture taken with a Storm Trooper. Elliott also had pictures taken with Darth Vader, Obi Wan Kenobi, and Chewbacca. He entered a contest for best costume but was beaten out by a pint-sized Storm Trooper who wooed the audience with his cuteness.

Aaron's favorite character is Chewbacca. He liked the 7' tall furry creature from a distance but was not as enamored when he got up close. The boys had a fun time and like telling everyone about the characters they met.
