Pirate Party

In a very round-about way we ended up having a Pirate themed party for Evan and his friends.  This was his first "kid party" and I had WAY too much fun planning and shopping for it.  There were pirate costumes (sashes, hats, swords, parrots, hooks etc), a pirate ship fashioned from a moving box, pirate plates/napkins/goodie bags.  We hunted for "treasure".  A good time was had by all.  Never fear, Dahlia and Cedar, we are keeping the ship and some treasure saved for both of you!

Evan being Evan, he got really shy and upset when we sang happy birthday to him.  I let his guests blow out the candles and then had to firmly let Evan know that he was NOT allowed to abandon his guests and take his ice cream cake up to his room to eat it.  He eventually enjoyed it at the table with his friends and then we had a treasure hunt to find the goodie bags.  It was a good party and kind of nice to only have a small group...I can't imagine any more little pirates with swords running around!

Happy 5th Birthday Evan!
