Jake and The Neverland Pirates (and ME!) Birthday

Our Jake and the Neverland Pirates 2nd Birthday Party

 The Birthday Boy!

Jake, Izzy, Cubby, Scully, Peter Pan, and Captain Hook are common names heard around our house. There are sword fights, daily. "Arrrgh, Matey"is a common greeting. Imaginary pixie dust is sprinkle in the air and my children flap their arms trying to fly. Occasionally this ends with the song from Jake and the Neverland Pirates: Peter Pan Returns, "I can't fly, I can't fly, I can't fly." My oldest son even has a Captain Hook Bed! We may be just a slight bit obsessed with all things Jake.

It came as no surprise that we were having a Jake and the Neverland Pirates Birthday Party for my oldest son's birthday. None. I wouldn't be surprised if he begged for one for his 3rd birthday too. Lately when I ask him his name, it's Pirate. He likes to look for Jake and Captain Hook through his "spy glass". And we talk about Jake the Pirate multiple times throughout the day.

Pinterest became my best friend. You can find my Jake and the Neverland Pirates Board here. I wish I had gotten more pictures of the food we made. Oh well. My favorites were the little boats (oranges) on the water (jello) and the octopus out of a bell pepper. We used a lot of the Jake and the Neverland Pirates toys that we already had. Mainly the plastic ones since we were outside. Had the party been indoors, we would have brought out the plush Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Wendy, Jake, Izzy, Cubby, and Scully that we have (and that my son sleeps with every night). He LOVES Jake.

We decided to have the party at a local park. The BEST IDEA EVER!! The kids had a blast and clean up was a breeze. We got everyone together for snacks, cupcakes, and our treasure hunt. The rest of the time the kids played on the playground. And let me tell you, my kids slept so well that night. Even after all the sugar.
