Tinker Presley and Captain Luke

On Saturday we had a combined birthday party for Presley and Luke. I let them pick their own theme and somehow, luckily, it matched. Presley picked Tinkerbell and Luke picked pirates (which I translated to Captain Hook). We had their party at home and invited our fam and the kids friends from our small group. We brought in Bailey's old Noah's ark toddler bed and filled it with balls for the kids to play in and decorated the living room in pirate stuff. We turned the breakfast area into "Tink's room" where the kids did a treasure chest craft. We decorated the dining room in both Tink and pirate stuff. Luke's cake was a pirate ship and Presley had a small Tinkerbell cake with flower cupcakes. Presley kept saying "It's beautiful Mommy" and Luke kept hugging us and saying "thanks for my party". They were so excited. I couldn't believe how many people showed up! Our house was filled with Mommies, Daddies, a few babies, a couple of big kids and tons of toddlers! We put little bags filled with gold coins around so the kids could fill their treasure chests. We also made goodie bags with different stuff for the girls and boys. The girls got fairy wands, rings, chocolate coins, etc. and the boys got eye patches, compasses, chocolate coins and things like that. We were all so happy with how it turned out! Presley had so much fun with their friends. They tell everyone we've seen since about their party. :)
Here are a few picks of their special day...

The kiddos blowing out their candles.
Some of the kids playing in the boat/ball pit.
Aargh! Luke tried on the pirate gear that came with his cake. He was feeling the eye patch though.

I caught Presley helping herself to another cupcake. She wasn't even ashamed. :)

We got a little carried away with some of the kids party favors, Bre, Bay and Bubs are wearing pirate earrings and jewels, I am wearing a crown and poor Seth just looks worried. I think we may have had too much sugar. :)
