| OWEN'S 1st BIRHTDAY PARRRTY... |
 |
I had good intentions on making cupcakes, Funfetti
Cupcakes to be exact, but ran into a shortage of
time. Walmart here I come...perfect red and white
cupcakes to match the decor. I had purchased
these cute pirate picks at TJ Maxx and had to use
them. |
Had so much fun planning and decorating for my grandson Owen's 1st birthday. It was decided
months ago that Pirate would be the theme. Everyone knows I have a thing for Pirate parties, so this just made it more fun! And as you can see Owen was the cutest pirate ever!!!
 |
We were expecting over 50 people plus kids so
tables were set up in the "party" garage and backyard.
Owen's mom, Jen, made the cute flags we used for
centerpieces. |
 |
| More Cupcakes...they are so cute! |
 |
Pinterest has definitely inspired a lot of my party decorating.
The pirate mast is one example. I took ideas from several
pictures and came up with my version. |
 |
| The calm before the storm...we're ready to party! |
 |
Pirate Mast...PVC pipe, tablecloth, twine, black spray paint, black
material and bucket of cement...if you want details just let me know. |
 |
| The Cake...Owen's Grandma Mary makes the cutest and best cakes. |
 |
Mary never just makes one cake...she makes three.
The cutest Pirate cakes ever!!! |
 |
| The Birthday Boy...just look at that Pirate face! |
 |
| Sister and First Mate, Claire, just couldn't resist the sprinkles... |
 |
Cake number 3...Owen's very own cake with
one candle. |

Jen couldn't resist buying these chips
because of the striped package...
they matched perfectly. |
 |
Our centerpieces...our version of pirate suckers
with Jen's flags as seen on Pinterest. |
 |
| Jen's favor bags for all the kids. |
 |
Jen made flags to hang in the kitchen and
decorate the "pirate ship". |
 |
Jen found these great "boats" to put the
food in. |
 |
Our vintage sailboat made a great
"pirate ship" food buffet table. |
 |
| Happy Birthday, Owen!!! |
