The kids arrived and we gave them each a spyglass, eyepatch and necklace for their pirate costume. Then they crafted pirate hats and parrots. We then found a treasure map and went hunting for loot! There were all sorts of exciting tasks to complete (including visiting a "tattoo parlour," capturing an alligator and walking the plank!), and at the end was real treasure!
I'm disappointed that I didn't get many pictures of the kids because Joe and I were running the activities, but they did have fun! And I have to say (as their mother), Jia and Willa were adorable in their costumes and totally got into character!

I LOVE planning theme parties and can't wait for future birthdays for the girls!

Jane,
It was such a fantastic party -- EVERYTHING was great! We took some pics but a lot of ours turned out blurry.
YOu should go into your own party planning business : ) Jeremi
What a great party! Great, great job on the invites!! I have to say that I hate that Jia's b-day is right before the girls'. You always make me feel like I could be doing a much better job party planning, lol! Now, I gotta step it up again this year:)

You are an incredible Mom!! I agree with Jeremi. You need to go into party planning. You don't miss one single detail.
