Matthew turned 4 in a big way! Grammy came out and threw a great pirate party. Matthew LOVED it.

I made pirate tops for the girls. Viv also had a black diaper cover and some skull and crossbone shoes. Elise's outfit last about 5 minutes. It came off as soon as she realized that a big slide had been set up in the back yard.

My dad made this watermelon shark for the party

I made a loot bag for each of the kids that came to the party. Time consuming but so worth it to see everyone enjoy them.

It was a good day. We're so blessed to have such amazing friends here in Texas.
