We decided to surprise Luke by taking him to the Albanese Candy Factory in Merrillville Indiana. We didn't quite take into account how close to Easter we are. It was NUTS. Everyone was there getting candy, and to top it off there was a crazy long line to see the Easter Bunny. The kids didn't seem to mind or notice though. Part of Luke's birthday present was that he got to pick out candy. There was SO MUCH, it was a pretty hard choice.
After an eternally long decision process (and we grown-ups wanted to get out of there so bad,
you can see how crowded it was) Luke picked a Thor Hammer filled with candy.
We got a few other treats too.
Star Wars themed cake from a local Michigan City Bakery. This was our first time doing a bakery cake in Michigan.
We opened presents, had some yummy cake and ice cream, and had a great birthday celebration.
