Ben’s Pirate BIrthday party

We’ve been counting down the days for a while now, and this little boy has been VERY focused on the details of his special Jake the Pirate birthday party! It was our first party in the new house, and we had lots of new friends, and even special family come to celebrate with us!

Mommy made a pirate “dressing station” so everyone could dress up as Jake, Izzy or Cubbie and become their favorite pirate!
