I'm 3!

It's official....I'm 3!

When Quinn asked what kind of party I wanted for my birthday, I said a pirate party!

I was so excited about my birthday party- all my friends were going to come and even my cousin Owen! Aunt Debi, Julia and Cousin Owen came all the way from South Carolina to celebrate with me. I loved playing with Owen at Thanksgiving so I invited him to my party. We had so much fun hanging out with them. Owen (and Aunt Debi) played with my toys, we went to the aquarium in the morning and came back home for the party.

We set up the party outside on the big deck in our complex.

We brought out all our pirate toys, pirate books and pirate puzzles.

Mommy made me a special pirate birthday shirt.

We made pirate eyepatches and scarves for our friends to wear.

My special present from Mommy and Daddy was a pirate ship that we could all play with and color.

We had a walk the plank game where we had to keep our balance over the choppy water. There were sharks and crocodiles in the water so we had to make sure not to fall in.

This was our "beach" to dig for buried treasure.

Violet really got into it.

We also decorated pirate spyglasses.

And played pin the doubloon in the treasure chest.

Pretty sure Quinn was peeking...

Mommy made me a Jake and the Pirates cake. We already had these cool toys and we just put them on top of the cake.

After the cake, we used our spyglasses to look for X's that the big kids had hidden for us little guys.

One X marked the spot where the treasure chest was hidden. Inside were our party favors- Jake coloring books and crayons and gold (chocolate) doubloons.

It was definitely a fun party and it was so cool to celebrate being three with all my friends.

After all that fun, Sunday was my actual birthday!

My special treat was to go out for frozen yogurt after dinner. I put lots of gummy bears on mine.

Quinn liked his, too.

Then to go to bed I got into my new Jake the Pirate pjs, underwear and even a Jake band-aid!

Happy Birthday to me!
