Tucker's  5th Birthday

 ARRrrgg! There be treasure a foot and here be our Capm. 

We did a pirate theme for our fun loving 5 year old.We were at Aaron's parents house in South Carolina for Tucker's birthday and thoroughly enjoyed our trip.  I would like to send a special thank you to Grandma(Debbie) and Aunt Rachel for all of the fabulous pictures!

 A beautiful picture taken by Grandma depicting the treasure map, sword, semi-homemade pirate captain hat, treasure map and the LOOT! 

 

 Sorry for the angle of the picture.  The pictures are from a CD loving Grandma sent us and I can't figure out how to edit them unless its on my computer.  Oh well. :) Just tip your head to the left. :)

 I love the look on Tucker's face!!! Totally worth the time I put into researching, shopping, and creating his special cake.  A special cake for my favorite Tucker in the whole world!

 Cake, Ice Cream.....

...and Laughter!

 His real birthday loot! Thanks to everyone who thought of my awesome Tucker on his birthday.

 Enjoying his pirate loot!

I had a lot of fun authenticating his pirate birthday party.  Our South Carolina family were awesome about contributing and going along with this kid fun party.  I tea stained all of the clues and the map.  I also made up the clues and had them rhyme.  Tucker enjoyed it so much he wanted to do the treasure hunt over and over!!! Once was enough for all the adults, including me, so I made a modified hunt for the rest of the week.  We still do these hunts today.... 2 months after his birthday. :)
