Pirate Birthday Party for Caleb and Simon

Simon's birthday is on the 3rd of November and Caleb's is on the 12th so we decided to throw them a joint birthday party this year on the 5th.  The theme they agreed on was pirates and it was so much fun looking for ideas for games and activities that the kids could do and I had so much fun making their cake and cupcakes!  The boys seemed to really enjoy themselves and I think their friends did too!

Chocolate Treasure Chest cake and vanilla mini treasure chests with chocolate frosting.  Chocolate gold coins, candy necklaces and ring pops were the treasure.

I made chocolate mustaches and had pirate hats and eye patches for all the party goers to dress the part.

The birthday boys were so excited waiting for their guests to arrive.  They loved their cake!

Josh made one of the cutest pirates I have ever seen!  Ahoy matey!

Caleb invited several boys from school and we were happy that they all came!  Here he is with Luke, who is was also on his soccer team this fall.

The best part about this mustache is that you can eat it.  

Simon and his friend Reece walk the plank.

 There was some great sword fighting on the plank too.

There was digging for treasure.  Some lucky pirates found diamonds and gold dubloons.  

Caleb got some nice presents.  He was so excited.  Here he is with his friend Jace.

Singing Happy Birthday!

Simon got some nice gifts too.  Like this cool back pack from Kenleigh.  He had a blue ring pop and so he had a blue mouth for the rest of the day.

Caleb takes a swing at the treasure chest pinata.

We had to make them stand way back unless it was their turn and we stopped making them use the bandana to cover their eyes.  

Simon did pretty good.  He almost hit me though.  He wouldn't stop swinging after I said stop!

Eventually candy did come out.

And then it was every pirate for himself!
