For Caden's 8th birthday, we had a Pirate themed party.
His invitations were messages in a bottle.
For his cupcakes I frosted some with chocolate frosting and for the others I dipped the frosted cupcake in crushed graham crackers to make it look like sand and I stuck a caramel filled chocolate treasure chest on top.
When they first got to the party, I read them the book, "How I Became a Pirate" by David Shannon. It's a really cute little book. Then the boys went on a treasure hunt. I had clues hidden all over the yard. One was in the kid's tree hut.
One was in the mail box.
One was in the fire pit, another in the pirate ship that was on the cake table, and another on the patio table.
The treasure was hidden under the main table that had the cupcakes on it. They each got either a sword pack or a hook pack.
Then they divided up into teams according to whether they had a sword or a hook and had a big sword fight.
Happy Birthday Caden! You FILL our house with life!
