The Swigert's: Gabe's bday invite

I finished up the invite for Gabe's party and will be snail mailing it out tomorrow. I thought I'd share it here. As I said in my December post referring to our Christmas card, I made the card in Photoshop Elements and love all that I can do in this program, unfortunately I don't have the time (and sometimes brain) to figure out all it can do. I've bought the "Photoshop Elements for Dummies" book, I've googled it, and asked my sister (who is a genius with the program) questions I've had. I think I need to spend some time with her and she can show me some of the features. My biggest problem with this project was the superman logo. I figured out how to make it a water mark behind the info, but my logo had a blue box around the "S" logo. I couldn't figure out how to extract the "S", which is something the program does. Candy fixed this for me. Thanks sister!
This years birthday party theme was almost a given. The boys and Mike have been watching the Christopher Reeves Superman on Netflix alot lately. They both put blankets on their backs and run around the house singing the theme. We bought Superman shirts for all 4 of us to wear to Disney one day. They're really into it! The only problem was they both wanted it for their birthday theme. I told them they couldn't both choose it, so they decided together (with some coaching by mom) that Gabe would have the Superman party. I can still sway Caleb's decisions in this area this year and maybe next year, but by 4 I let them pick just about whatever they want for a theme. I enjoy doing the "themed" parties for them. Not sure where I got the idea, I mean growing up we had a few themed parties. We always had big family parties and I knew I wanted to have them for my kids, but the theme parties just kind of happened. I'm sure at some point the boys will tell me they aren't cool to have anymore and that will be fine. I'll be sad, but I understand that. I've found over the past 6 years that I love decorating cakes, so after I'm not making birthday cakes twice a year I'll have to find another outlet for that. Here are the cakes I've made for the boys:
