Grammy, Pop Pop, and Uncle Kevin came dressed up as Pirates too.
Mama and cousin Maggie worked very hard to decorate the house so it was suitable for a bunch of pint-sized pirates.
The above sign warned the pirates as they arrived that there was fun ahead!
Then all the pirates had to walk the plank into the party.
Yep... that is the best Tic Toc Croc that Mama could make.
Inside all the pirates received an eye patch and headed up the seaweed stairway.
Quynn loved pulling the seaweed down as fast as Mama could tape it up.
Once the pirates made it upstairs they saw more pirate decorations. Mama got creative with the skull and cross bones as she was looking for a more feminine and less scary version.Then it was time for tattoos (as all pirates need at least five right???) and Cousin Maggie did the honors. Thanks Maggs!
Then it was off to the food table to fill those empty pirate bellies.
The food table was a lot of fun. On the menu... bait (gummy worms), the catch of the day (gold fish), gold doubloons (chocolate coins), peg legs (carrot sticks), the crew's favorite (pizza), salty sea dog dip (ranch dressing), and puny pirate punch (Capri Sun fruit juice).After all the puny pirates were finished eating it was time to decorate foam swords.
Then we played Pin the Parrot on Hook. It was a favorite among the scurvy sea dwellers!
Next we headed outside to play Pirate, Pirate, Booty (Daddy's unique version of Duck, Duck, Goose).
At that point Quynn woke up from her nap and sported her only pirate attire... skull and cross bone leg warmers.
After playing Pirate, Pirate, Booty it was time to head back inside for cake-pops and the main attraction... the TREASURE CHEST CAKE!!!
Grammy's friend made the cake and it was phenomenal!
After cake we opened gifts and then sent the pirates on a treasure hunt to find their treat bags before making them walk the plank one last time so the could head back home.
It was such a fun way to celebrate with Avrey and her friends.
AAAAAAAAAARGH MATEY!
