Bentley and JennaBeth were invited on Saturday to a Pirate birthday party. Cecily helped me take them since Mike had a sound board training he was attending. The little birthday boy was Nicholas, who was turning 3 years old...
Isn't he just the cutest little thing? He really is such a sweet boy.
The kids had such a good time. Brandi, Nicholas's mom, organized such a fun little party for them! All the little ones had an opportunity to dig for hidden treasure...
They also "walked the plank" and if they were successful snabbed some loot (a.k.a. candy!)...
JennaBeth would occasionally wander away from the activities and jump on the swing set. Every time I turned around she had Nicholas's "poppa" (grandfather) pushing her...
Or she was climbing...
That girl thinks she can do WHATEVER the big kids are doing!
Bentley made a pirate's telescope...
Brandi had stations set up where the kids could make the telescopes or color a pirate treasure map. Bentley and JennaBeth also got their own pirate vest, eye patch and hat! After a little while outside, it was time to come inside and have chicken nuggets and homemade mac-n-cheese (Mac- a -cheese according to JennaBeth!)...
As you can tell Bentley (looking straight at the camera) had a mouthful! That boy would live on Mac-n-Cheese if I would let him! And then they had the cutest little cupcakes with a treasure chest on top of them...
Brandi told me she baked cupcakes and iced them. Then she took Little Debbie Swill Rolls and piped some extra icing into them and added jelly beans and other candy to make it look like jewels in the chest! They were almost too cute to eat, but of course you know we did :)
After Nicholas opened up his presents, the kids all went outside on one final "treasure hunt". They had to look for clues written on different colored pieces of cloth. Bentley found the green one...
At the end, all the kids ended up with bags of pirate lute...candy, beads, gold coins...JennaBeth was really proud of her find...
She is still toting that bag around today with her "gold boons" (what she calls the gold coins) in it! Although most of the kids there were young, Bentley did have one of Nicholas's cousins to hang out with, so I had to get a picture of the big, bad pirates...
Thank you Brandi for the invite. The kids had a wonderful time.
Arggggggh maties,
Jennifer
