Arrrrgh Matey!

This year Levi's birthday party was all pirate!  

Pirate ship cupcakes

I asked Mat to build us a cardboard pirate ship, but his vision was much grander than my original thought.  It was a hit!  The kids loved steering the ship and walking the plank.

We also had buried treasure for the kids to hunt for.  Kennedy and Lleyton were the oldest kids here.  They were great about finding the treasure, and then making sure that all of the littler kids had enough in their bags too.  When Mat went to dump out the sand he said they had found every last piece of treasure except for two gold coins!

We enjoyed having friends and family here to help us celebrate our sweet little guy.  He got lots of cool new toys- an art easel, a new kitchen and food, a guitar and a drum, a grill, vacuum cleaner, and lots of fun new Cars toys.  This was the first time that Levi actually got into opening his presents, and he loved them all!  He has kind of been on toy overload for the last few weeks.  He starts playing with something, and then turns around and finds another new toy to play with!  Happy Birthday, Levi!
