Yo Ho Ho and a Barrell of Monkies


Ivan had his first kid birthday party this year. His birthday is December 21st and we try really hard not to let it get lost in the shuffle of all the Christmas activities. Surprisingly, all 9 of his invited friends were able to make it!

Ivan wanted a pirate birthday. All the little guys sang Happy Birthday well!

This is most of the guys waited for their turn to swing at our homemade pirate pinata. That ended up being a fun and easy craft for Ivan and I to do. The boys each got about 6 swings each and never noticed that Deacon was slowly making holes in the pinata so that it would open a little faster. In the end, it was Ivan's swing that dumped the candy everywhere. How fitting for the Birthday boy!

All the boys (Will, Jed, Eliot, Ivan, Bat-River, Theo, Zach, Jackson, Gus, Eliot)

I had to post this picture of Eliot because he was really scared for the first 20 minutes and this is from after we loaded him up with sugar. He said, "Hey take a picture of me!" The nervousness had subsided, completely.

Thanks for posting those :) I'm always a little anxious about sending my little bud off to eat sugar and be wild!
Looks like a fun time!
