Bailey Shay Turns SIX!

The anticipation of the big day was almost more than the girl could stand!
After all, turning 6 is a big, big deal.
 You have to use two hands to show people how old you are. 
 How cool is that???

The big day Bailey had been driving us insane inquiring about constantly for the past month finally arrived! April 24 was to be the day of her Pirate Princess Party. That's right....PIRATE PRINCESS!   No Dora or Kai Lan for this girl! No siree!  If you know her, you are nodding your head in agreement.  She actually wanted to have a Pirate Princess Tea Party.  I explained to her that she would have some boys at her party who just might not enjoy sitting down to tea with her and drinking out of her cute little Wedgewood cups. So, out of respect for her male friends she agreed that it probably would be a good idea to just go with the Pirate Princess theme.  (I know the boys are thankful for that!)
And so, we present.....

Bailey Shay's Pirate Princess Party
Aaaaaaaaaargh! 

This band of pirates is searching for the buried treasure!
Aaaargh!  They've found a clue!
Even the smallest of pirates was not left out!
  They searched high and low!



YES! I believe Pirate Cate has found a clue!!!

It is often necessary to consult with one's Pirate Mama. :)
Pirate Ethan waits patiently to find out what is hidden in the chest! Gold, Rubies???
Pirate Ellie keeping everyone safe with her trusty sword.....and pink balloon!
At long last the treasure was unearthed!  Pirate Lilly gathered her share!
 (And this mama pirate did not get a picture of the chest when it was opened!)
Pirate Brinley with some of her loot!
Pirate Ethan is pleased with his treasure!
Pirate Sellers.  This fine pirate found clues AND caught a big fish!
Pirate Wyatt garnered his fair share!
 But I see trouble on the horizon!

A sword fight broke out in the O'Cain Crew!  Pirate Wyatt gained an upper hand and was able to defeat Pirate Mason and take his sword.  This did not fare well with Pirate Mason. He vows  there will be more sword fights in their future! (Much to the dismay of Pirate Mama Jennifer)
Pirate Lily showing off a fish in her net! (She caught FOUR fish!)
Pirate Grub

Pirate Bailey with her very own ship! Yes, Captain Jack Sparrow would be proud!

They may have had a sword fight but one thing is evident!
They agree that icing is the very best part of the cake!

This is Pirate Shelby. :)  
She's growing up so fast.
Land lubbers.
This is the face of one very tired little pirate!
Thank you to all of our friends and family who came out to play and celebrate Bailey's birthday!
We love you all!
Fulton, Noah, Ben, Chris and Allie, we missed you!
