August is both of my children's birthdays so this yearwe decided that they were a good age to let them have a party together. A few months before the party we talked about themes and let the kids decide. As soon as we said Pirate and Princess Party they knew that was it. We'd do pirates for the boys and princesses for the girls. Now immediately I had a vision in my head. And I knew that vision would be a lot of work for mom. We made a castle and a pirate ship. We made tutus and wands for the girls and bought tiaras. The boys got pirate vests, eye patches, bandanas, and swords. I also found these really cute cake pop ideas online and of course had to do it. But the day of their party made all of that hard word totally worth it.
We had their party in grandma and granpa's backyard. We let them invite a few friends from school. They were so excited come party day. I think this is one of their favorite birthdays yet. The huge thank you I got from both of my babies after this party was over was the best thing ever. Happy birthday Elena & Landon!
