How to make a boy happy

Not just any boy, mind you. It needs to be a Star Wars obsessed boy. One who can recite each scene from the movies with precision. One who knows each character and what they wear and eat for breakfast. One...yes the only one I could be talking about...Eli!
He got this surprise package in the mail on Monday. He thought he knew what it was because my aunt had promised to send him something. The short drive from our mailbox to house was filled with expressions like, "thank you so much!" "That was so nice of her." "I knew the mailman finally would have time to get the package here." {Unbeknownst to me, my aunt promised to send him a light saber. He's related the conversation to me many times in the last 3 weeks. All I could say in return is I didn't think the mailman had time yet to get the package to us.}

The excitement was palpable.
"Now I can be Annakin!" {and please take notice of the 'Obi-one' cape he has me rig up for him every day}
May the force be with you. Each one of you.
Thank you aunt Holly, from our galaxy to yours.

Eli's got to come over for light saber fights. We taught H to say this phrase when he was 2: "Luke, I am your father." Both he and T do a really great impression of Darth breathing.

And you need to get that boy a real cape! :) We actually found a cute one at Summerfest last year for like $2. It's held up well.

MAriah He could be Luke's friend. All day long Luke goes around saying I am "Skywalker". I guess I could really call him Luke Skywalker. It's funny to make him mad I say "I am Skywalker". I have learned you don't mess with a skywalker.

How fun for little Eli! Getting stuff in the mail is the best! What an awesome aunt! :)
