AscencioFamilyBlog: Star Wars Celebration VI

In case you didn't know,

Tommy is a HUGE fan of the Star Wars empire.

Movies. Toys. Statues. Ornaments. Books. Autographs. Posters.

He loves it ALL.

As a college graduation present, his parents sent the two of us to Denver, CO for the very first

Star Wars Celebration I.

Believe it or not. :)

Since then, we've been to all of the Star Wars Celebrations.

Indianapolis hosted II and III.

Los Angeles hosted IV.

And luckily, since we've had kids they have been held in Orlando,

which gives the kids some Grandma and Grandpa time while their Daddy acts like a big kid at the convention.

The big difference between this show and the previous five is that Abby has recently taken an interest in Star Wars. She has watched all 6 movies and can name most of the characters. She knows enough about conventions to know some people dress up (Tommy doesn't dress us, I have a prenup that prevents that ;-)), and she wanted to be DARTH VADER.
