This morning was the party for Alli's birthday. Alli planned a pirate party long ago. She is a planner, and she always knows exactly what she wants.
Guests were invited...
... and they came dressed in their pirate best!
... or worst. Ruby looks like one tough mermaid-pirate. Don't mess with her.
A hearty (say it with the pirate ARRRR) breakfast was served.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the li'l pirate feeding frenzy. All hands were on deck flipping pancakes and serving sausages and pouring juice and rationing syrup and scrambling eggs and wiping up spills...
Pirate Caelan had the right idea... he stayed at the table until everyone else was gone, then he had the muffins all to himself!
There was a treasure hunt. And there pirate games with pirate prizes.
Prizes such as a walk down the plank!
We had a delicious cake. It didn't turn out pretty, but it was yummy. It had a chocolate ganache topping and a layer of mint chocolate chip ice cream. But it was ugly.
The cute toothpicks helped.
Pirate Dave did some pirate magic tricks.
And Cap'n Janis stole the show...
(I have the best siblings!)
There was a ship in the playroom. This picture is post-party... and it's not looking as sharp, but check out Ruby in the port-hole-thingy.
I dressed up too. I looked like a pirate deck hand... which was probably appropriate. :) I will be mopping the kitchen deck this afternoon.
The birthday girl was delighted with the whole event.
A few more pictures for good measure...
A special thanks to our pirate friends and pirate cousins! You ARRRRRRe all wonderful!
