And so it began with a note...
Sent swiftly in bottles...
And a pirate party was born...for a most magnificent little four year old...I must say...
Pirate boats were sent to school to foreshadow the celebration...
But the captn's boat was slow to be constructed, so it docked at home while repairs were made, until...
It stayed up!! Hurrrraaaay shouted the boatmaker!
And she moved onto the decor...
The quarters seemed to be coming together...
Second in command Pirate Princess Finley surveyed the efforts and declared...let the party begin!
They came from near and far the princesses...
And pirates...
To decorate treasure chests...
And pin X's on a map (sorry this was the only picture:)...
to mark the treasure...
And then head out on an adventurous treasure hunt of their own...to find...
The real treasure!!
And attempt to confiscate it...After which...
Captn' Avery Claire lead her crew to the Ships quarters where they all found pirate hats waiting.
They drank from red jeweled goblets and ate pirate booty while awaiting the arrival of the ship of dessert...Finally...
The Spanish Main arrived!!!
Complete with Sponge bob:)
The Captn' took a little time out for dancing and then...
Opened some really great loot!!
Second in command took a moment to dive into the "water"
And came up smiling as usual...
And the ship wreck was mourned (only by the boatmaker that is:).
When the deck was cleared, Aunt Adriane and Uncle Tiago helped Captn' Avery set up a beautiful magic garden for her quarters...
And those landlubbers mom and dad came through and gave her more presents to open...It was a marvelous, memorable, adventure had by all!!!
