Mega Party Weekend: Livy's Baby Blessing and Cody Turned 6!!

My parents and all of their descendants were able to get together a few weekends ago. They all wanted to meet the newest member of the family. It just so happened that it was Cody's birthday too and on the same day we decided to have Olivia blessed at church.

Cody had been counting down to his birthday since it was Kylee's birthday two months earlier. So it seemed only right to him that people should be traveling across the country to celebrate with him. As soon as everyone arrived we started his Star Wars birthday party!



My sister Brooke always come through with great decorations. This totally awesome banner is all thanks to her.



And a Cramer birthday party would not be complete without a treasure hunt to find the gifts (this one is written in Yoda style thanks to Cody's talented mother). Here is Cody right after he received his first clue. He couldn't wait!



Lego Harry Potter for XBOX from his mom and dad. 



Star Wars Trouble complete with R2-D2 sound effects.



A Star Wars Lego set



Another controller for twice the fun



Of all the presents, Duncan was most envious of the band-aids.



Cody got binoculars from the Rich's.



Cousin Time is awesome!



Hanging out on the stairs.



We went to Cheeburger Cheeburger (yeah, that is NOT a typo) and had all the grease we could ever wish for: onion rings, burgers, and fries!



And a Death Star cake for dessert! He might look like he is singing--but he isn't. Cody doesn't sing and he will make sure you don't ever expect him to  :)



My sisters are so fun!



We had about 6 projects going on all at the same time here. And really we had a great time hanging out together even though we must have been lost in our crafty concentration at this moment. I didn't know that we had stopped talking for even a second, but here is the evidence.



Blessing Day! We were rushing out the door and snapped this shot before jumping in the cars.

Pin the light saber on Yoda!




Nice!



Cody spinning Aub.



And Miss Livy was a great hostess. 
I think she showed everybody a great time!


As we waved goodbye from the window Cody turned to me and said, "I wish they lived next door...I wish all of our grandparents were our neighbors!"

Sounds great to me!

Thanks for coming out everyone! We loved it!
