Arrh Mateys!
MJ's THREEEEE!
Having a January birthday in Spanish Springs has its challenges. If you're an adult it's no problem at all, but when you have a little one, problem.
January is cold and snowing, so you are left with only a few options for a party. I really didn't feel like spending hundreds of dollars just for a venue to have a party. That's just for the room! Not too mention adding food, cake etc.
I thought if I kept it small I can do one indoors in my home.
So that's what we did for MJ's 3rd Birthday.
We (meaning I) decided a pirate theme would be fun. I know it's been done
a million times before, but this is the first time I have done it.
So that makes it okay, right?

Here is the cake and goodies table.
~Cookie Pops~ Red tissue paper and a red plastic cup was all I needed to display them. |
Look closely at the cookies. I used an ornament cut out to make the pirate boy faces. Just turned it on it's side and now it's a bandanna!
I wrapped a couple of boxes and set them on the table and used
then for the cake/cupcake display. A lot cheaper than
a cake stand.
Cake is covered in fondant, I added the little pirate figures and
the pirate candles. I dyed some fondant black and cut out the
tracks for the treasure map on the cake. I also make the "MJ and 3"
out of fondant. Added the gold coin confetti and it cake out great.
This was a chest was a gift I received for Christmas
and thought it would make a great treasure chest.
I put all the paty favors in it with the loot bags and let the
kids pick out what they wanted.

Let the Birthday Party Begin!
This is Captain Jack Spareribs. I wanted to do something a little different. Getting him for the party was definately different!

This is Maynard the Monkey. Yeah, he did a ventriloquist act too! The kids really liked him. I thought he did a great job keeping the kids entertained.
