Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirate Party For Cole

Saturday we celebrated Cole's 5th birthday (his real day is the 11th) with a fun pirate themed party at Oogles 'n Googles. We booked the party several weeks ago and he has been anticipating it for what seems like forever. He woke up Saturday bright and early and ran thru' the house shouting, "Today's my party, today's my party". You could say he was a little bit excited, lol.

While waiting for all of his guests to arrive a face painter painted faces or arms. Cole opted for a really cool blue snake tattoo on his arm. It was very "pirate-ish".

Then everyone got their pirate costumes on:

And posed for a group photo:

The pirates went on a treasure hunt, did the limbo and walked the plank:

This photos cracks me up, notice the "mustache". The snake tattoo rubbed off on his nose:

Time to make a wish and blow out the 5 candles:

Tastes great (I got a thumbs up after taking this photo):

Carson liked the icing too:

A cute and curious Carson checks out the loot:

I think Cole got more gifts than Christmas! Here are just a few of his favorites, which changes every ten minutes or so.

A scooter:

Matchbox Pirate Land:

Indiana Jones Potato Head:

The rest of the afternoon was spent ripping into boxes, un-wiring all of the toys and lots and lots of playing. Later that night we went on a walk so Cole could take his new scooter for a spin.
All in all it was a great day and Cole enjoyed every minute. He's already talking about doing it again next year.

Your boys are SO, SO handsome. I didn't realize how close Cole and Hayden are...Hayden will be 5 on November 1. I thought he was closer to Skylar. Anyway, fun party, cute pics. Happy birthday Cole!

That looks like a ton of fun. He is a true pirate king! Can you believe you are the mother of a 5 year old? It is so strange!

What a cute, fun party! I love it. That tatoo is a hoot and my kids would be all over a huge snake on their arms (seriously). Your boys are adorable.
