Pictures from the boys' birthday party...

How has time gone by so fast?!  The boys turned five this year and had their birthday party at the St. Augustine Pirate Museum.  It really seems just like yesterday we brought them home and looked at each other completely lost as to what to do with the two little bundles in our arms.  Now they are no longer babies and are getting to be big boys! 
 
Here they are posing for pictures as pirates.


Nathan was much more interested in wearing his pirate mustache than Christopher.
 
 
  
Posing with Nai Nai.
 

I guess Christopher is using his eye patch for his third eye.


Captain Mayhem!

Captain Mayhem does magic and starts things off with a magic trick.
 



Captain Mayhem found a gold coin in Nathan's nose!
 



Posing for pictures with 11 kids is not the easiest thing to do.
 





Hmmm...an idea for time outs?!

Getting ready for a tour through the pirate museum.

Captain Mayhem talking about pirates!

Ready!  Aim!  Fire!
  


 
 
 
 
Listening to pirate stories.
 
 
 
After the tour it was time to decorate their treasure chests!
 
 
 
 


Naturally, the boys paint their treasure chest orange and blue.


Then it is time to dig for treasures!
 


After all the activities, it is finally time for snacks!
 








 




After snacks, Captain Mayhem leads the party in singing happy birthday.

A family picture!

After the party, it was time to go to lunch.  The boys invited Caroline to join them. 
 





 
If it wasn't clear from the pictures, the boys had a great time.  A special thank you to Ms. Auri who did much of the work on decorations for the party!
