Birthday Boy!

So Nicholas turned 6!!  He was so excited to have his first birthday party with real friends (not just aunts and uncles).  He asked for a pirate party and he dug out his Halloween costume from last year so he could be the Captain at his party.  I sent out cute piratey invitations to 8 little friends, made loot bags complete with a paper treasure box and cool pirate stuff, decorated the house, finished the cake and then sat back and waited - only one little friend showed up :(  That's when I was madly calling the aunts and uncles to come have cake and save the day - which they did!  Now I have to convince him to have a pirate party again next year since I have all the loot bags ready for one...Maybe his sister can be convinced to have one for her birthday...
