Hi Ho Let's Go to Hollis' Birthday Party!

We celebrated Hollis this past Saturday with her first "party"! She picked Jake and the Neverland Pirates as her party theme. We love Jake and...Peter Pan. The original plan was to have it at the park but it rained (of course) so we had to move it our house. It was a bit of a scramble coming up with games and such for all the kiddos to do but we survived and Hollis had a wonderful time!

The last minute decorations. 

The girls set up the birthday table all by themselves. They were so excited.  We added a big Jake balloon the next morning.  

So excited about her cake!!! 

Filling the "yata".

Birthday girl!!! 

So sweet! 

Oh my goodness!
We have great, great friends that took pictures all day for us. One of them got this beauty! It's probably my favorite. 

We had a photo booth set up. My friend let us borrow her polaroid camera to take pictures of all the dressed up pirates.
The "magic pictures" were a HUGE HIT! It was so fun watching each kid light up once their picture came through!

Balloon sword fighting! 

Hitting hook with a cannonball. 

Colton was our musical entertainment! 

Khloe is Marin's sweet, sweet friend! We love her! 

Getting ready for the treasure hunt....

Marin had been asking all morning when would the treasure hunt begin...you can tell you she is ready.

Reading the map....

At each stop, they had to do a little something to celebrate the birthday girl..

Here they did a cheer..."hip hip hooray! It's Hollis' special day!" She loved it and needed a special day just for her! 

The treasure hunt hit every room downstairs. :o) ha! 

The treasure chest pinata! 

It was one of those pinata where you pull the string to have it all fall. Burke wouldn't have gone for helping out if  it involved swinging a bat and blindfolded children. 

We had two Jake board games set up for kids to play. These two had no interest in the pinata...yet.

 Finally!! Ring Pops and Gold Pirate Coins!! 

Hollis was very proud of her Jake cake. Thank you Kroger bakery for helping this non baker out. :o)

the party favors...

Happy Birthday sweet Hollis! We lvoe you so very much!!
