Party Time

Birthdays mean parties, so it was time for another party after Travis turned 6.  We had a little confusion about what the party's theme would be and it was finally decided to be "space pirates".  Aaarg!  The party was really small this year since our repiping project was set to begin the day before the party.  (More on that later...)

   My amazing seamstress mother (she cooks and she sews!) whipped up 6 space pillowcases to give as goodie bags.

We used the pillowcases to collect the candy from the pirate ship pinata.  Perfect!  Randy enjoys this almost as much as the kids.  As soon as I would blindfold one of the kids, Randy started pulling the pinata out of their way.  They had a great time and we finally had to take the blindfolds off and let them hit it.

Travis got his Millennium Falcon spaceship that he has been wanting.

All the kids got into the action, but it was hard to get any pictures.

Travis got to choose what he wanted for his cake, and he chose volcano cupcakes.  Basically chocolate with a coconut and cream cheese filling.  Of course with the appropriate "6" candle!   

He's getting so big, but even with a tricorn hat and a cutlass, he's still my cuddly firstborn son.

Shiver me timbers, it's another year come and gone.  Here's to many, many more!
