aargh: nash's 4th birthday party

ahoy!  nash's fourth birthday party (in november...better late than never, right?) was a pirate party (because i'm the boss and i wanted a pirate party. next year nash can have his dream "sewing machine party.").


cap'n nash:


some of the swashbucklers. their moms did a fantastic job dressing them for the occasion.


we took a few photos with the birthday boy (these will eventually be sent with thank-you cards),



played pin the treasure on the map, pass the parrot, and walk the plank,


ate fish & chips, orange slices (no scurvy here!), cupcakes & ice cream cups,


and opened presents (clearly it was very exciting).


nash had a blast and i survived my first real kid party!


{and haven looked pretty cute, too.}

thanks to all you four-year old scalliwags for making nash's fourth birthday such a great event! and to all you moms for being such good sports with the attire + funding such fun gifts!

*please excuse the wacky white-balance in these photos. it's the reason i waited so long to post them. i have been trying and trying to fix it, but i cannot get them right.  i quit. and i've learned never to take photos in my "yard" again.
