We had such a fun time this weekend celebrating Josiah with a pirate themed birthday party! My wonderful mother- in- law brought me some supplies from the states which made the preparations much easier. Josiah was such a fun birthday boy and greeted the guests at the door with a hearty "Ahoy Mates!"
Yep, Annabelle's got an eyepatch too
6 eager pirates and Captain Josiah
We walked down to "our" beach for some fun and games. Grandma and Grandpa went down early to bury some gold (chocolate) coins and squirt guns. The kids had fun digging for their buried treasure. Two kids actually found real coins in the sand which was a fun surprise to everyone!
Jason got into character as "Long John Silver", the enemy pirate, and the boys had so much fun "attacking" him!
Next they had to "sink the ship" by throwing water balloons into an old rowboat
Finally the kids went on a treasure hunt in teams, combing the beach for items on their list
I should probably mention that in the middle of this Annabelle had an explosive poopy diaper that I was unprepared for- but my great friends held her and did their best to change her so I could stay with the party (:
We took the very hyper pirates back to the house and let them watch a pirate cartoon while the adults enjoyed some food and conversation for a bit.
We love you Josiah and are so thankful to God for the "treasure" you are to us!!

I cannot believe what a little boy he is now! It feels like it was just yesterday in some ways when we are all at the condo in Coronado and Josiah was 6 months old wearing his little red Christmas sleeper Aunt Christy gave him. The party looked so fun...wish we could've been there!He is such a special boy:)
