The Pirate Party!

If you follow my lifestyle blog some of this will be repeats but I want to remember everything and since this is his baby book I gotta do it! 

Blake loves all things pirates,  pirate swords, pirate ships, and of course Jake and the Neverland pirates so a pirate party was perfect. I will let the pictures take it from here...

 Blakey helping me set up that morning, and no Fruit Loops are not a regular occurrence around here but he picked them the day before (his birthday) at the grocery store so what can you do but cringe!

 Favor table, where the kids could grab some pirate gear. In the favor bags were a pirate book, pirate stickers, and a compass.

 I stamped the bags to give it a pirate detail


 Treasure chest filled with beads, gold coins, and water guns, and the pirate pool


 Super easy burlap banner





 My favorite detail

 Pirate cake pops made by me, on their way to melting in the heat

This was my first time making a cake bunting, I learned a lot

 Blake mostly ate popcorn and played with one kid at a time. He was not interested in going outside and made that clear. It was his party and he could do what he wanted but next year I think I will have a smaller party and see if he enjoys that more. I always want his parties to be all about him, and whatever makes him the happiest.

 So proud of his pirate flag he made

 Making pirate flags, which was the craft portion of the party

 A little birthday action

 Just like last year Blake was not interested in the signing, blowing out candle portion of the day

 And yes we had two cakes, I have this fear of not having a enough cake for people


 He did a great time with our neighbor though, he immediately jumped into his arms when he arrived and it was so sweet to watch.

Pirate beads and a pirate flag.

It was a great party filled with family and friends! Thanks to everybody that came and to everybody who helped! Love y'all bunches
