Evan's 6th Birthday Marathon!

Well, here we go. . . Evan's 6th birthday was full of pirate fun! Our first pirate adventure showed itself in some treats for Evan's kindergarten class. These are pirate cake pops. Very very rich, but cute and a smashing hit with all his classmates. . . and teachers.


Once he got home from school we decided to go get Dad and head to the store. Being as perceptive as Josh and myself are, we first had him open his birthday cards. He got money from his Grandpa and Grandma Cobb, as well as his Grandpa and Grandma Dance. Total amount to spend however he wished - $26.00. Here is one of those videos.



He ended up getting three different things, a rocket, a double feature movie, and a toy story 3 alien toy. He was pretty happy with the whole thing. After shopping we went and grabbed some Chinese food - Evan LOVES Chinese food, well at least the egg rolls and sweet and sour chicken. Then we hurried home to open more presents.



We got him a new laptop and a remote control airplane. He also received some clothes and a toy story Lego set from his Grandpa and Grandma Dance. Oh and Brayden gave him a glow stick. Possibly the best of all the presents!

Here is the video of him opening the Lego set.


This is the laptop.


This is the whole lot of toys.


After presents we watched a movie and had a birthday treat instead of a cake. They were yummy triple chocolate pre-made cones we got at the store earlier. It was a busy day, but a fun introduction to Evan's 6th year.

The next day (Saturday the 12th) we had Evan's pirate party. We had nine kids come over and three parents. Evan had a blast. Here is his cutest picture ever. I love his pirate aaarrrrggg. He is so cute!




This is our cute pirate Brayden. He was enjoying all the festivities. He has created an extensive list of what he will have for his birthday. . . he's mostly thinking glow sticks and flying frogs. Not sure how to do that yet, but I've got a few months!



The first activity we had was the making of our own pirate flags. It was a lot of fun and they all turned out looking great!


The next was a treasure hunt. I made the coolest maps which I have yet to take a picture of, but they were cool. The main map lead to an actual treasure. This is Evan pointing out the X to Sheila with his friend Reo in the red shirt. There was a box with smaller treasure chests inside. One for each kid. They thought that was cool.


Next we had hot dogs and hamburgers followed with some playing and running around time.

Then Evan got to open up a few gifts from his friends - walkie talkies, a puzzle book, a marker set with coloring pages and some strawberries. He had fun.

Then came the big cake reveal. Evan wanted a treasure chest cake. I've made one before, so the design was easy to do. I made his bigger, though. It was a HUGE success. Everyone loved it!


This is Evan blowing out his candles.



After cake and ice cream his friends left and we relaxed the rest of the day!! Good by pirate Evan and HAPPY BIRTHDAY we really hope your 6th year is a fabulous one!!


AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
