Carson's Pirate Party

The girls and I got to go to Fort Worth for their cousin Carson's 4th birthday party. We had a BLAST. First, you have to know that I have two sister in laws that are extremely gifted in the birthday party department. Betsy is one of them. She made this party so fun, cute, and adorable! 

Each pirate got a sword, eye patch, hat, and spy scope.
Cute, huh? 

Look at these rice krispy pirate pops.
ADORABLE!

Hollis loved the picnic table. 

The birthday boy!
Look at that cute pirate shirt.
(Hollis got a special Minnie Mouse 1 shirt from her Aunt Betsy.) 

They were putting the sand in the pool for the treasure hunt.
The kids were mesmerized. 

Marin was waiting for the water. 

She got a pirate tattoo on her little hand for the party. :o)

Hollis trying out the pirate swords!

Now Marin's turn.
Marin wanted to be just like her big cousins.
It was so sweet how she would watch them to see what she was supposed to do with the swords. 

This is my favorite picture of Kate and Carson.
They had just been in a pirate sword fight with their dad and well, he won. :o) 

Pirate Kate
She was so sweet to Marin and Hollis. 

It was funny because Kate is clearly an easier name to say than Carson but Marin would call for "Carsie" all day.
Even now, she will call out "Carsie, where are you?"
I love it. He was so sweet to the girls as well. 

Walking the plank....

Betsy and Kate.
Betsy is so beautiful.
And Kate is cracking me up in this picture. I had taken quite a bit of pictures by this point.
 Carson had already ran off and she was barely hanging in there for me. :o)

Some pirates walk the plank.
This (tired) pirate takes little rest....with her fruit snacks.

Treasure Hunt

Marin's version of an eye patch. ;o)
She may have had a cupcake too. 

Marin loved this ball and bat! 

We are so glad we got to go to the party! Happy Birthday Carson!!
