Princess & Pirate 4th Birthday Party

Nolan and Taryn's 4th Birthday Party.

We love you Nolan and Taryn and are so thankful for you!

We can't believe you are FOUR already it has gone by SO fast, too fast.

We love you and feel so blessed to have you as son and daughter, brother and sister.

You are both a gift from God and a joy to raise!

Super fun to use itsy this year and purchase pdf files to do the party.

 A little decor.  I know a little over done this year, but super fun.

We had breadsticks for swords, meatballs for cannon balls (mini party ones from trader joes, fruit cabobs, malt balls and some heathly snacks and stuff for adults.

We had two tables pirate and princess with a craft on it to begin with.  We started with decorating swords with jewels (oriental trading company), and crowns for the girls again (oriental trading company).

                                     We'll start with the princess

 Taryn doing her crown

 The girls were invited to wear dress up.

I also had a ton of dress up in their rooms for them to change into or change throughout the party.

 It was cute i think Taryn wore three different dresses.

 I had the kids get their swords and wands and play a little game of balancing the money on their swords and wands and dump in bucket...didn't work to well, but o'well. They had fun.

Moving on from the cute princess's to the adorable pirates!!!

Nolan making his crown.

 We also had two more games hunting for treasure in water and pin the pirate patch on the pirate.

And then there was cupcakes and cake.
A friend from our bible study made the cupcakes and I purchased the little cakes.
Okay these little cakes are PERFECT for pre-schoolers, plenty for everyone and just too cute.  Great for twins.
The toppers for the cupcakes were all from Nancy's on Itsy.

 We had a princess cake (barbie really) and a pirate cake.

 Of course we needed a new princess outfit for the blowing out of candles.
Is that outfit #2?

Goodie bags for the kids

 Had to throw this one in there this was her little friends princess outfit i think this is outfit
number three.
Very fun and o'so cute.

One of my favorite parties to have, spend a little too much time doing it, but it was fun.

The morning two days later Nolan says in his bed,

"Mom I loved my birthday party".

Well for a mom that just makes it all worth it.
