Tonight Kai and I surprised Joe with a Star Wars themed dinner. It was so fun! Those of you who know us know one thing: this man is nearly impossible to surprise, but we did it. Victory!

I thought for sure we were doomed when he "surprised" us by getting home from work nearly 2 hours early. When it came time to cook, we kicked him out of the kitchen and got to work. The force was with us and we pulled it off. The best part... Kai really, truly helped me make almost the whole dinner! He even built some of the Fighters and helped put the veggies on the light sabers (umm... I mean skewers). Sorry no pictures of the kabobs, lets just say... it's not a good idea to grill veggies on light sabers. They got a little, umm... black. We even made a menu and a Leg0 centerpiece. I had such a great time with this; from beginning (planning) to end (watching Joe very much enjoy his surprise dinner). Kai and I got the idea earlier this week when we found a SW cookbook at the library. Of course, we had to check it out and we knew what we had to do next! Kai kept the secret since Monday! Most definitely a fun, fun family memory!

(Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest. I had to take them quick before my hungry boys dug in!)
