Mika the 4 year old!

Mika has grown up so fast! She is definitely a character and I love it. She has the sweetest, tenderest side and also an independent flair that can be as stubborn as anything.

 She had been planning a party since Christmas. I didn't want anything stressful, so she listed a few of her favorite friend sand that's all who came. It was by far the least stressful party I've ever done, thanks to the tire swing!
Pirates and Princess Theme- it was so much fun.
 My friend Megan made the cupcakes. They were So yummy and the cutest cupcakes I'd ever seen!


As the kids started coming, they were always drawn to the tire swing. Mika and Casch would sit there for hours if they could. So cute.


 We had all the kids get dressed up. The girls came wearing dresses and we added crowns, jewelry and wands. The boys go eye patches, swords, gold necklaces and handkerchiefs.


Then we took the kids on a Treasure Hunt. They had 4 spots on the map and at every place they got to pick some treasures.



During the party our cat Fox runs happily into the crowd with a live chipmunk in his mouth. Most kids were frightened and they place cat and mouse on the lawn as adults chuckled and were surprised.



 Time for the loot! Mika got tons of princess things like teacups, coloring books, paper dolls, and even a unicorn pillow pet. Such a happy girl!

It was such a nice day, my friends (the mommas) could sit in the camp chairs and watch the kids play and eat. It was so nice and the company was wonderful.


 Seriously the kids could have done this all day. Travis and Ethan kept them swinging. I think we got about 6-8 on there!

Isn't amazing that children would much rather play in the backyard with other kids than almost anything else! Looks like all the pirates and princesses had a wonderful time- especially Princess Mika! :)
