Ezra's 4th Birthday

For Ezra's 4th Birthday, he wanted a Pirate Party!
We made a treasure chest cake (which he helped decorate). He couldn't wait to eat the ring pop! We invited some of his sunbeam friends from church and had a pirate adventure.

We started out by decking the kids all out with pirate tattoos, eye patches, and hoop earrings. Next we played "pin the X on the treasure" in preparation for the treasure hunt later on. We did an obstacle course where they kids had to walk a plank, sword fight "Scurvy Eli" and then bring back a gold balloon for Calypso (Ellary). Ellary then gave them compasses and read them rhyming clues for the treasure hunt. After following all the clues, they found the treasure.....a pirate ship pinata that was hid in our old antique trunk that really does look like a big treasure chest! Next came cake and icecream. Yummy!

After cake, we opened presents. Ezra received a scooter. He was very excited....he now had one just like his big brother and sisters. He also received a quiet book for church and a pirate chest that Mom had painted for him. It was filled with pirate treasure and came with a lock and key . He loved being able to lock and unlock the padlock over and over again. He loves playing pirates........sword fighting his siblings and hiding treasure! It's a pirate's life for Ezra :)
