Arrrg Matey

This year we decided to do have a party for James a little early. June is always so hot and and James really wanted to have a Pirate party and search for treasure. I had so much fun planning this with the help of Anna!
I like to make the food for all of our parties to match the theme. I knew I wanted to do the the octopus hot dogs but I couldn't think of anything to put with it. The night before the party Anna and I were getting everything ready and Anna came up with the best idea for a side. The shell mac & cheese. I wanted something that the kids would eat and every kid likes mac & cheese. PERFECT HUH!!!!
They looked so cute!
The only problem was most of the kids wouldn't eat the legs!

James has been on this cupcake kick. For any party lately, his request is always cupcakes.
I MUST admit, these were the best cupcakes EVER!!


Now that their tummies are full, it's time for a a treasure hunt. Each of the kids made an eye patch, telescope, and got an official pirate hat to help them on their treasure hunt.


I split the kids into 3 groups. Each group had their maps to find their treasure. They find the clues that led them to the treasure. They had a blast running all over the yard looking for the clues.


We can't have a party without snow cones and cotton candy. The kids can always use a little extra sugar.....right! Our SPECIAL Friend:) Thanks to everyone who came to make James' day more special. He LOVED all of the great gifts and cards.
Thank you Jimmy and Britta for the cotton candy and snow cone machine.
