Last night we had a WONDERFUL family night with a STAR WARS theme!! I had bought each of the boys a Star Wars cookbook years ago, and up until last night, Ryan had not made his meal of choice. He looked at all the pictures, made his choice of entree, drink and dessert, and then we shopped. Then we chopped. Then we marinated. Then we grilled. Then we squeezed. Then we frosted. And finally, we ate!!!

After our delicious meal we played a four hour game of Star Wars Monopoly. Yes, we actually completed an entire game of Monopoly lasting until 10:30 last night, with Ryan coming out the winner (we were so glad he won, it was his night after all!!)

He had made everyone their own little R2D2 dessert on a plate with their name. He was so creative and spent a good deal of time making these - especially since he had to improvise the ingredients from the recipe as all the kit kats we bought earlier in the week (that were meant to be for the dessert) were eaten!

This is the centerpiece of the table - can you tell this is R2D2??

The main entree of the meal was "Obi-Wan Kabobs", which Ryan decided later to call Lighsabers!

We also made "Yoda-Sodas" - very cool green drink with fresh limes and lime sherbert. Delicious!!

Matt and Jacob looking hesitantly at their food...

Later, here is Jacob figuring out how much Danny owed him for landing on his property!!

We had one of the Star Wars movies playing in the background all night as well. It really was a fun night - and Hannah did a great job bearing with the theme. She did ask me later on when we might do a "Little House on the Prairie" theme... hmmmm.... that would be interesting.... Anybody out there got any more great family night ideas that you have enjoyed???
