Ahoy, Maties!

Emery's buddy Caz was born just two days before him on the 7th of July. So his mommy Clare and I decided to have a joint birthday party for all their little buddies the day in between their birthdays...July 8th! It was a pirate theme, and the kids sure were excited! Six of their friends along with their mommies joined us to celebrate. Yummy salads were provided for the ladies and finger foods for the kiddos. And of course...a pirate ship cake made by yours truly.


Emery is in awe of his mama's handy work! (Or trying to figure out just where he can swipe his finger in the icing!)


Here is the end of the birthday song and a good shot of Emery "blowing" out his candles. He had been so excited to blow out his candles for so long! For at least two weeks before his birthday he would wake up and say to us "On Emery's birthday...he blow out the candles!"
