Back to it... someone is 5!

So during my neglect, Tanner turned 5! He wanted a pirate party, so what the birthday boy wants... the birthday boy gets! Tanner desperately wanted a surprise party, so I let him help me plan the party but told him to forget about it. Then I had the party in the morning instead of the afternoon. Cory took him to breakfast and when he came home, everyone was there... his reaction was funny.

He warmed up after a hug, it was funny. Anyway, we learned to be pirates and went on a treasure hunt... we have a playground that is a pirate ship, so it worked out to be a good treasure location.

We made a treasure box cake, okay, it is out of rice krispies because I am not awesome...but we made cupcakes, they were better than a cake.

This box showed up during the party from Morgan and Violet. When we opened the door, the delivery guy held up the box and said "Tanner's birthday?" All the kids thought it was so cool that the guy knew it was his birthday and brought the package to his party... you have to love a good coincidence! It then turned into a bit of a pinada moment as the kids tore through it in their sugar induced chaos.As always, Kate got in on the birthday goodies, new headphones from Nana...

Tanner also got new headphones and new books for his story reader.

He got tons more, such a spoiled little monkey! Anyway, thanks to everyone for helping him have a great day! We are all ready to have a fun Minnesota summer!
