I made pirate cupcakes:
And a pirate ship cake:
We had a very simple scavenger hunt. I stuck plastic bugs up around the yard, and gave each family a sheet with pictures of all the bugs they needed to find. There were prizes if the kids found 10, 15 or all of the bugs. Everyone found them all - there was a lot of cooperating going on, which was awesome to see!
Crumpet and his dad searching for bugs:
The whole group looking together for one of the hardest-to-find bugs:
Crumpet and a friend discussing where to find the last few bugs:
We had a pirate ship pinata:
And Crumpet got some awesome presents:
Here's the whole gang:
Every year, after these parties, I say "Never Again!" because they are exhausting! But Crumpet is already planning his Star Wars party for next year, so I guess I'd better start thinking of ideas...
His party looked like alot of fun though I imagine it was also bittersweet for you. Love the pirate cake and cupcakes! How adorable! You did a great job! I also liked the bug game- how fun. Happy Birthday to Crumpet! Bet he thinks he's something now that he's 4!:)
ReplyDeleteAwesome party! Love the cakes.

ReplyDeleteThose pirate cupcakes are adorable. You are amazing for doing all of this... wow! It looks like a great day (hope you are recovering, hee hee)! Happy Birthday, Crumpet!
ReplyDeleteThat was Diego's 4th birthday theme in December too. I guess little boys are all about the same. You rocked on the cupcakes and cake! I wish we could have done a scavenger hunt too but it was too cold. Looks like you had great party!
