the pirate brothers
After all the kids were dressed in their pirate garb, they played and played and played. Pierce suprised us because he wanted his patch and bandana on all day and had sword battles with the birthday boy!
And then...we began the search for the hidden treasure - the stick to hit the pinata! They searched for 6 pirate themed clues that lead them to their find...and then on to smash open the pirate ship pinata for their candy booty! The kids really loved this (to Benjy's suprise!)
listening to the clues...
the pinata
Arrrggghh! We want candy!
the booty!
And you can't have a birthday party without birthday cake! Since Reece doesn't like chocolate and my creative preference wouldn't make a different colored pirate ship - we made an island especially for him. Reece claimed the hidden jelly-bean treasure and after eating the majority of the blue jell-o waves...ended up not eating much cake after all. Oh well! I loved making it for him.

Happy 6th birthday Reece. We can't believe you are already so big and we sure had fun celebrating who you are and what you mean to us. We wish great things for you this year and are thankful to God that you are our pirate! What a gift you have been to us!
A very special thanks to Mimi for all of her hard work cutting pirate sashes and bandanas...for gifting all the pirate swords and patches - and just for being here to enjoy our day!
Also, a huge thanks to our friend Amanda Gray for painting up all the pirates with beards and scars and moustaches. They looked great and it was one less thing for me to to think of! Look at her classic piece of work on pirate Pierce!
