* Star Wars Mini *

Back in December of 2009 :-O, I took Evan to a Star Wars night at the Blues Hockey game and they encouraged fans to come dressed in costume. So Evan dressed in his clone trooper costume and the two of us headed down there.
He was seven. He is now nine, turning ten next month. We had a great time and I got fun, cute photos like this one...
and this one...
and this one...
complete with guy making lame face in the background. But still it's with Darth Vader! I mean I wasn't expecting anything of this magnitude as far as photo opps :)
And now finally! Two years later, his mini album is done! I bought the album from www.twopeasinabucket.com probably not too long after that night. I am not usually into themed albums, but I thought it would be fun for him. And it's something we have been working on together the last few months. He did that cover :)
We did this title page together.
I did this one including a typed account of the night :)
Another page with one of our favorite photos done together.
And this last page he did by himself is the sweetest. That is my dad. His Paw Paw. For a while, my dad worked security at the Blues games. He was down there that night and Evan couldn't wait to see him and show him his costume. But what I love the most is that when Evan did this page, he chose the hero sticker for this photo of him and his Paw Paw. Still gets me a little choked up.

So that is just a few pages from the mini.
And it's done!
So you see, it's never too late to scrapbook precious photos :)

  3. He's so cute in his costume and I love the photo with the other two clone guys (forget what they're called, LOL) The page of your son with your dad is priceless and such a wonderful treasure to have. So nice you two could work on this together. I love projects like that!

  4. Awesome album! Love that this is for your son and he even got to create his own page. That's great. And I know exactly how it is that it can take two years to get these projects completed. But for me, that means I'll always have something to work on! :)
