Garrett's 3rd birthday: Star Wars

Garrett's 3rd birthday was a smashing success, complete with a visit from Chewbacca!!  All the kids, even the 7 and 8 year olds were excited about it.  There was quite a range of kids, from 1 1/2 year old Rohi to 8 year old Conor.  They mostly ran around and played and had a great time.

 All Vader prep is complete.

Garrett asked me later why Chewbacca didn't say happy birthday.  I told him it was because Chewbacca only speaks Kashyyyk, not English.  He was satisfied with that response. 

Ellie finally agreed to a hug

Applause from the friends
