Arrrrrr Matey!

For Greg's birthday I decided to throw a big Pirate Party. We just moved into a house, as previously mentioned, so we wanted to have a big party and invite lots of friends because we can.


It was fun to plan and find piratey things for the party. Greg found out about most of the things I was planning, but he didn't know what I was going to do with the cake. I thought it would be cool to make a treasure chest cake, and it turned out pretty good! (It was actually very easy to do.)



Max was good at helping me get ready for the party. He put the cupcakes in the oven while I frosted other cupcakes and worked on the cake. It was fun to have him in the kitchen to keep me company.


We had hot dogs for dinner--roasted over the fire, and everybody brought something to share.


I think the most interesting thing was "Dessert Sushi." I really thought it was sushi until I picked it up. It was rice crispy treats rolled up in fruit leather with little pieces of red vines. It was weird how much it looked like rice and fish, but it tasted really good!

I thought this was a cute picture of my pregnant friend.




Special Guests include: Greg's brother, David, The Summer and Glen Posse, and Max from Texas!

Ginger looks so cute!

Holly, I've been waiting for this post! The party looked so fun. I'm so sorry we missed it. I had to smile when I saw the photo with all of your kitchen cupboard space! I bet you are loving all the room and privacy.
