the front door...
our treasure chest (started life as a styrofoam cooler...)
inside of treasure chest...(i put a box in the bottom of it, covered with fabric to raise up the goodies)
treasure bags...each kid got one when they came in...i freezer paper stenciled on them (of course) and just sewed raw, torn strips of fabric as handles...
all the bags...
we went on a treasure hunt throughout the house to find small treasure boxes i found at the dollar store that had their pirate accessories in them (one held bandannas, one had eye patches, one had tattoos and one had compasses). we gave the kids a treasure map with a picture on it of where the treasure box was hidden and then when they got that box, it had another map in it, with another picture of where the next one was and so on. clever idea by Kendall.
Kendall dubbed himself "Captain NO Beard" for our festivities...
all our little pirate friends...ready to play pin the eye patch on the pirate...
round three of cupcakes...swedish fish

we also made treasure maps...and watched an episode of Jake and the Neverland Pirates...and opened presents of course:) it was really fun, the birthday boy had a great time, and that's what counts!!!
