Ahoy!

Okay, here is a slide show to show you how much fun we had on Gabe's birthday. First was a Pirate Party with his friends! We played "Pin the Eye-Patch on the Pirate", then they took turns hitting the treasure chest pinata. Inside the pinata were treats galore and... a TREASURE MAP! They followed the map and found a buried treasure at the playground. Little pouches filled with plastic gems. They loved it! Then we had cupcakes and opened presents. Each of the kids also got a treasure chest with a pirate duck, a telescope, some temporary tattoos, skull lollipops and stickers! It was a lot of work to keep 11 kids happy for two hours. I don't know how teachers manage!

Unfortunately I am bad at taking pictures when it is my own event because I don't want to miss out on the fun! So there are no fancy pictures here, just snapshots. I hopefully will find the time to take pretty pictures of some of the fun things, like the little boxes filled with goodies. Who knows, we'll see! Anyway, here it is! I will really have to take pictures of the boys in their costumes though, they looked fantastic! Big thanks to Aunt Elaine for pulling through for us and making costumes, drawing a huge pirate, and helping with the party. You are the fantastic sister and aunt. A huge thanks for Tia too for the Awesome pirate cake that we had at Poulson's that night, it was amazing!!!
