We first did a treasure hunt; the kids found gold chocolate coins hidden around the play area. Then there was a pinata...which actually took quite a while to break! The kids went crazy for the 300 pieces of candy that spilled to the ground.

The birthday cake. There were also cupcakes with pirate-themed liners to keep the boys happy.When Ella first saw her cake, she squealed and said "this is the best birthday ever, mama!"
Thank goodness for my helpers, Lindsay and Steph (who I had just met that day!) They were amazing.
Ella is looking at me as we are singing happy birthday.
Waiting to open her gifts.
The kids sat in a circle and each held the present they brought for Ella. It was pretty cute.
And a GIANT thank you to my friend Leah who took so many wonderful pictures! And to Eric who built the tables for the little pixies and pirates..and who was also a great help cleaning up afterwards. I swear I had a birthday party hangover of exhaustion on Monday. By Wednesday, though I was wondering what my next big project would be....
