Derek woke up to streamers hung on his bedroom door and us singing "Happy Birthday". He quickly ran for his "birthday crown" and placed it on his head. He loves being the star!
Derek finally turned five! All day, he repeated over and over "I can't believe I'm five". I put together our family's very first friend party. I gave it a pirate theme. Derek seemed to dig it, so that's what counts.
I was so excited with how the cake turned out!
We played "pass the pirate hat" and "pin the eye patch on the pirate". This was a drawing provided by my mother. I also had the kids hunt for gold (rocks spray painted gold) and we created a treasure hunt looking for their party favor loot.
Not as many kids showed up as planned, but it was enough to make a fun party.
Poor kid never got a fair shot at blowing out the candles. There was just enough breeze to blow them out before he had a chance.

That is one SPECTACULAR cake! You have always been a whiz at making fun cakes. Derek and Taylor are lucky to have such a great "birthday mom." Poor Ethan just gets Betty Crocker shaped like a circle.
What a fun looking party there! You did a great job on the cake, Nat! Clever!
I LOVE IT!!! I'm totally copying this for one of my boys!!! I TOTALLY LOVE the cake too!! Did you make it yourself? Way to go Natalie! I'm so impressed!
