Pirates and Gingerbread Houses...

Last weekend my friend (down here in Houston) Nikki threw an awesome pirate party for her son Jake's 4th birthday. The party was so much fun, and all the pirates looked adorable. Upon arrival, every pirate was given a hat, belt, sword, and eye patch. The kids participated in walking the plank and a cannonball fight. Abby did it all and had so much fun!! Happy 4th Birthday Jake!!! Here are a few pictures from that fun day (oh, and the back of Abby's pants said "Pirates Booty"--how cute is that!):

Last night we made a gingerbread house. Actually, Daddy made the gingerbread house while I took pictures and Abby sampled all of the candy decorations. Unfortunately, Abby had to go to bed before the house got decorated, but it was the first thing she spotted this morning when she woke up. It was a lot of fun! I just realized she is wearing the same outfit that she wore to the pirate party last weekend!
