Captain Jackson! ARRRRGH

ARRRGH!  Captain Jackson had a great time with friends and family at his pirate party!  The kids came in a kids and left as PIRATES!  We had a super fun treasure hunt where the kids followed a map and some clues to gather gear to make them a pirate.  They got hats, eye patches, a telescope, a sword & finally a treasure!   Jackson woke up to a bunch of balloons in his room on party day.  This is a fun tradition that we've started for birthday mornings (or the morning of your party!)  
I MAY have gotten a little carried away with some of my decorations.  I blame pinterest.  :)  I have rolos and Hershey's Nuggets candy for 'Fools Gold, swedish fish for 'Fish' and Pixie Sticks as Pixie Dust.  (every pirate has a pixie fairy, right?)




Final stop of Treasure Hunt.  The cooler had an X on it.  X Marks the spot for our Treasure!
Check out all these cute Pirates!   Of course, the birthday boy wanted no part of the hat or the eye patch!
Blowing out his candles and getting kisses from Mommy!
Mom and Dad with Captain Jackson!
It was so nice out today, that we even got to play outside!  These pirates are all going to sleep well tonight!
 Too cute.  Loving Jackson's new cheese smile.  :)
Just cute of Olivia and Dylan.
 Gpa and Mimi with the Birthday Boy!
Mama, Papa, Jackson and Gpa, all dressed up for the party!  Gpa has a parrot on his shoulder, but it got cut off in the picture.
 Haarmann Pirates!  Arrrgh!
Captain Jackson and all his LOOT!  We are so thankful!

  Captain Jackson!
 Some of the 'Men' hanging out in the unfinished basement.  Even though the basement isn't finished, the BIG SCREEN has been hung with care and the guys escaped the children to watch the football game!  Nice furniture, huh???!!!
Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate!  We had a GREAT time.  Captain Jackson is one tired PIRATE!
