Cael turned 3 and we had a pirate themed party for him. He really loves pirates so he was very excited about it! My dear friend Jenn Hildebrand and I planned the party for months. Her and her husband are very talented and responsible for much of the creative things. I found a pirate costume online for Cael to wear and he loved it!! Here are some pics of the day...

We served hot dogs with flags on them
My mom was such a jewel! She came early to help and then had the "tough" job of taking care of Coen. I am so thankful she was able to do this!!
Jenn made a pirate ship doorway and Adam (her husband) designed a plank everyone had to walk
All of the kids
Pirate Athanasius
All the kids had to walk the plank to earn their treasure chests full of loot. Cael absolutely loved his and carried it around with him for days!
Then we played pin the eyepatch on the pirate. Thank you Adam for your wonderful artwork!

Checking out the cake
Cael's reaction when we were singing to him. I think he was mostly embarrassed!

Presents!!
Cael, did you like your party?
I think that's a yes!
How creative! I hope I can come up with something as special for Ella's 3rd birthday next January. It will be her first birthday party. My moto has been, until she's old enough to tell what theme she wants I'm going to wait on the birthday parties and Halloween costumes. :-) She can tell me now, so we'll be having a party for her next birthday.
ReplyDeleteSooo cute!! I love it. Thanks for sharing. I didn't realize Cael was a pirate fan??!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even notice your doorway was a ship entrance--shows how observant I am. It was a fun party!
