Yo Ho Ho!!!

Ahoy der mi matey! We had a little pirate party for Colton's b-day. We had a treasure hunt for gold coins, made our own personal treasure maps, dressed up, and ate some cake.











While my mom was out, we had a little mini party. Since we've never been around family while celebrating our kids' birthdays, and she was leaving 3 days before Colton's day, we decided to celebrate with her. And because she's a grandma, she couldn't bare to celebrate Colton's and not Ian's so we had a dual party. They loved it! My kids love a birthday party, and just about anyone would do for them. I feel like we've had non-stop birthday parties since January. Between celebrating Ian's actual birthday, then his party, then Taylor's b-day, then their "pretend" birthday with grandma and now Colton's party. They are going to have some major withdrawals cause the next birthday in our family is November.
