Beautiful birthday parties!

ACR says, "Look, I'm one years old!"

We had two big birthday parties yesterday. First was our darling niece ACR's first birthday. We took hardly any pictures as P was initially shy and doing her Kling-on impression. The party was a Hawaiian Luau, with a dee-licious Hawaiian BBQ spread, and darling decorations. And, my sister-in-law did make ACR's first cake above. Hello, supermom! : ) There was a little bounce house, water table and fun things for the small fry set to do. Everybody was happy. ACR was doing her #1 baby impression and smiled as she was passed around, fed sugar, etc., and missed her nap. What a doll! My twin niece and nephew whose birthdays we celebrated in May (age 2) were also there and they've gotten so big!!

We drove straight from there back to our neighborhood and attended the fifth birthday of our good friend's son, B. He had a pirate theme, and as usual, the fam went
all out. Below is the fantastic cupcake spread his mom made.
There was a pirate map to decorate, a story, and then a hunt for treasure. It is so nice to have a party with just a handful of kids!


The birthday boy!


Miss P was excited about her shark cupcake. He was made out of a twinkie!

Great parties!

I love the pirate theme. If my son still wants a pirate party, I just might have to set up a Lego pirate ship centerpiece. :)
