Pirate Party

Alexander turns 4 on Wednesday. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by.  This weekend, we had his birthday party.  It was a lot of fun.  He is really into Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so we had a pirate themed birthday party.  The kids got to make real pirate hats and pirate flags for their pretend pirate ships.  My son, however, thought that he was really going on a pirate ship.  I guess, I didn't make that clear to him.  Oops!

Then, after we finished our crafts, we had a special Jake cake.  It was extra special, because it was the first birthday cake that Alexander was able to eat from a real bakery.  He was very excited.  He didn't actually eat the cake though.  I think he only ate the icing.  Oh well, it was his birthday.

Then the kids played together for a little bit.  They may have had more fun driving the cars, firetrucks, and garbage trucks around than doing the crafts.

Lastly, we opened presents.  His friends were very generous and he got a lot of special presents.  It really was a great day.  Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us!
