And here is a close up of how the cake turned out (this was RIGHT after I finished, I didn't even wash the counter off yet, so sorry for the messy background) If you can't tell it is a treasure chest.
And here Nikolai is blowing out the nine candles... one at a time. Isn't there a rule about not getting a wish if you do it that way? Oh well, we didn't tell him.
For an activity I designed a treasure hunt all around the house and yard where the boys had to find clues. The treasure at the end was their goody bag to take home, which actually ended up being eaten as we watched "Pirates Who Don't do Anything", a Vegetales movie to round off the party.
We kept the numbers small, Nikolai had invited one more boy from school who couldn't come but here is MaryKate, Braxton Bogle, Michael and Austin Cox, and Nikolai.
Everybody was required to come in pirate gear. I love MaryKate in her getup with our puppy Spot, both sporting an eye patch. 
Nikolai and his best friend, Braxton, playing on the trampoline before everybody else arrived.
