On Saturday, was Evan's 3rd Birthday Pirate Party! We had so much fun! I had a blast planning all the little details and was so glad our family and friends came to celebrate! This party was also extra special because Mimi was here! Evan was so excited for her to come into town for 2 weeks! We spent all last week getting everything ready for the big day! A big thank you to Jackie for all the decorating help and for the AWESOME banner! Also, thank you to Todd and Mims for all your help running errands the day before!
On to the pics!
Here all the girls! Wearing our Evan's crew shirt and hats!
Banner with streamers and cannon balls!
Treasure chest was filled with gold coins that the kids could put into little black pouches as they left :)
As the buckaroos arrived, they had a pirate hat to decorate, an earring to wear, and special pixie dust!
AHOY bottles I made for the island with the food! We had golden nuggets and ruby sauce (chickfila), pirate pies (little pizzas), and pigs in a blanket along with all sorts of yummy stuff!
The dessert table! Banner said Happy Birthday...hard to see with the light!

Beware of PIRATES!
What would a pirate party be without a PLANK?! The kids LOVED this!
The Captain himself! He looked so cute!
Pirate princess!
ARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Treasure hunting! Digging for necklaces and rings!
Someone found his patch! The hunt was so much fun to watch! The kids with their little maps ran from place to place! Hunted necklaces, rings, a telescope, hook, patch, lollipop, then got a tattoo!
She looks adorable!
Mimi did the tattoos!
Isn't it fun to have an uncle your own age?! LOL...MJ is just too much fun! Such a good sport with the little ones!
Cake time!
After the party, Mimi had a special gift waiting for him in the garage!
His very own JEEP!
HE LOVES IT!
Doing great!

Cracks me up how he kept using the telescope as he was driving!
Ainsley also loves the jeep!
More big kids! :)
