McCord's 4th Birthday!!

Aaarrrggghhhh!!! Pirates Beware! Cordy's 4th birthday was a swashbuckling good ole pirate party.

Cordy's 2 little friends, Mitchell and Nathan, came over and enjoyed a few pirate themed games ("bobbing for apples" -- the sanitary version..., digging for buried treasure, and a treasure hunt). Everyone had a great time.

Sissy was very kind to follow the kids around on the treasure hunt and read the clues -- they all enjoyed the clue that read "to receive your next clue, you must walk the plank!" -- meaning they got to jump off the diving board -- the hunt took about a 30 minute break while they enjoyed a quick swim! :-)

The one absence Cordy kept noticing was his best buddy, Hanky, who was home sick with the fever Cordy had had the week before (see the post below...). Before his party, we took Hanky a balloon and Cordy wanted to move the entire party to Hanky's house so he could be there. :-)

The Cake -- it was yummy!!!
Daddy putting up the Jolly Roger! Aaarrrggghhhh!

Preston enjoying the festivities! Smiling, of course.

The kids weren't so excited about bobbing for apples...
Daddy was really excited, though...
Digging for buried treasure in the backyard!
Blowing out his candle -- it's a bit hard to see...
Finding a clue on the treasure hunt!
Ooohhh! What could it say?
Aarrgghh! A clue!
Cordy was not sure at all about walking the plank... He eventually jumped in from the side. :-)

I am still so sad that we missed it! Hanky still keeps saying that Cordy's birthday is next! He will never know that he missed his best friend's party!
I can't believe our little man is four - makes me want to shed a tear! Where does the time go?
Glad that he had a blast! We love him and are so proud of him and of Preston looks cute too!

Love,
