PRESLIE IS SIX! or sixteen?

Happy Birthday to our sweet Preslie who is such a wonderful little girl. We love birthdays around here! Growing up, my parents always made me feel so special on my birthday and I loved that. So, I like to make a big deal about birthdays around here. We started off Thursday morning with Preslies favorite breakfast. We pulled out the birthday dishes and set up the card table in the kitchen for something different. She chose french toast and bacon. She asked for pink milk although she had never had that. I don't think she will choose that for next year. We opened presents and got ready for school. She wanted to take Lofthouse cookies for her class that was decorated like Halloween. She came home from school and had a birthday party with friends from school and the neighborhood. Preslie chose a pink pirate party since she was being a pink pirate for Halloween. The following day she went to dance and took her dance friends stickers and pink gum and then we ate at The Pizza Factory. That is Preslies favorite place to eat. Saturday we had a Halloween party at Grandma and Grandpa Miles house so we celebrated her birthday with her cousins and aunt and uncles all dressed up in their Halloween gear. Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Susaeta's house and had dinner and celebrated Preslies birthday with all of her other cousins, aunt, uncles and her Great Grandpa Susaeta. What a fun filled weekend of birthday parties.
The pink Pirate Birthday Party

I made pink pirate patches with pink glitter and cut out bandannas for all the pirates. The kids took home treasure sacks that were filled with pink items.


The whole pirate crew.



Preslie is not a fan of birthday cakes and LOVES doughnuts. I had Madbrook Doughnuts whip me up some pink doughnuts for the party in place of a birthday cake.




The kids had a Pirate Relay race and earned different kind of pink candies. They started off by walking the plank backwards, finding the gold coins in a pool filled with bubbles, dropping goldfish into little skull cups, kicking cannonballs (black balloons) into the soccer net, catching bones in the hot tub, and finding skeleton heads that were hidden in the front yard in the bushes and trees. The kids had a great time. They enjoyed using their pirate lingo.





All the girls, striking a pose.
