A Pirate Looks at 3

We celebrated Hank's third birthday with a pirate looks at 3 Jimmy Buffet style party.  Brooke at Funky Wright Designs came up with the perfect wording and invite to set the tone.

As always it was at my mother and father in law's home.  They have a great yard and house for entertaining and its always fun to decorate.

The menu was simple..cheeseburgers, crab sandwiches and dips in pirate bowls and margarita glasses..

I made frozen concoction cups for the adults and for the kids treats I did juicy fruit and margarita flavored drink mixes in pirate cups.

We blew up giant cheeseburger beach balls for the kids to bounce around.

Love these 3 beauties so much!

We are so fortunate grannies and papaws make it to birthday parties.

The best MIL a girl could ask for..

She and my FIL surprised Hank with his own treehouse and sandbox! (We used the sandbox to have a treasure hunt including finding the lost shaker of salt!)

The sign may say no girls allowed but Hank made an exception for two of his favorite ladies.

Four best buddies..

And three blonde besties.

Hank! You're 3!

Happiest boy in the world right there.

Carsyn's Minnie Festival

Back…ahem…6 or so months ago Carsyn turned 3 and we celebrated with a Minnie Party.  Everyone loved the fall theme from last year so we went with it and painted pumpkins pink.

We placed ears at the entrance of the party and placed pink and purple polka dots down the path leading to the tables.

We had glitter tattoos and a cupcake walk for the kids.  They could care less about the cupcake walk but loved the tattoos.

Carsyn was the one who actually decided the kids tables should have cupcakes and polka dotted table cloths.

I thought some nice fall food would be perfect this year and decided to do a chili bar.  The downside- it was about 90 degrees in the sun.  The upside was everyone said they really enjoyed it.

We just had finger foods and drinks on the other table.

We served strawberry lemonade and handed out Minnie cookie for party favors.

Of course we kept with the traditional hay ride, corn maze, and pumpkin picking.

Did I mention the highlight of the party was the May clan visiting?! I cannot believe this year there will be 4 of them!

So I say every year I missed getting a picture of a certain person or group of people and this year W took over the camera.  And while I'm grateful, it also means we did not a single family picture.

Carsyn enjoyed herself so much.  She couldn't stop smiling all day.

And Hank was such a trooper. He ate cake and got loved on from granny and his aunts!

I say it all of the time, but I'm just so blessed to be this little girl's momma!

Happy birthday Carsyn…I can't wait to paint pumpkins silver and white this year.  Here's to hoping Uncle Robby and Pops can grow a pumpkin big enough to turn into a carriage.
