Aidan's fifth birthday party was out of this world! Well, more like into the Mario Galaxy. We celebrated his half-decade of life on a beautiful fall day indulging in his latest obsession--Mario Brothers. We kicked it old school with party games like duck duck goose, hot potato, and limbo. The kids LOVED it!! Aidan couldn't stop smiling all day all his best pals from school and his cousins helped him celebrate.

| Aidan (dressed as Mario) blows out his candles. It was cute --he did make a wish before blowing out the candles. He whispered "I wish I had every videogame. (sorry world peace, it will have to wait for birthday #6 maybe) to himself then blew out the candles |
 |
| The birthday cake. After a disasterous first try baking, this one came out pretty good! I surprised the kids with a galaxy blue layer of cake. |
 |
| Kaitlin didn't quite get the 'hot potato' game, but she sure loved dancing in the center! |
 |
| The group playing our Mario version of hot potato (hot galaxy stars). It may have appeared rigged, but the first two winners were Jake and Aidan. |
 |
| Before we began the chocolate gold coin search, everyone needed to don their Mario mustaches and hats. |
 |
| The many Marios spread out over the yard to find the gold coins. |
 |
| Corinna got into the spirit of things... |
 |
| Limbo--you never fail to make for a good time. |
 |
| Why I love this picture: Corinna seizes the moment, while Kaitlin is distracted by the game, to run over and try to steal her chocolates. |
