Griffin is 7!

Every time one of the kids in our family has a birthday, I like to say it like Kaja did when she was 2. She would put a ton of emphasis on I'M then say two! I'M two! Always cracked me up.

Anyway, Griffin had his party at Pirate Island and LOVED it. They did a really great job and all the kids had a blast and the adults didn't have to do much, and we had a private room so it was all very calm, which I think we all appreciated. The game area was a different story, but it was super fun too.

Here are the pics...(and it's late on the 18th, so I'll do more another time...)

Griffin and some of his buddies in the room we got at Pirate Island! It was pretty cool.

The remnants of one of the giant "Kracken" pizzas the group ate - surprisingly good - way better than Chuck E. Cheese for sure.



The two pirate cakes Aunt Amy made for Griffin, she did an awesome job, they were really cool and very tasty. Thanks Am'!!!

Amy getting some help cutting the cakes from Jax-onian (or Jax-onville, which I like to call him because he'll always say, "I'm not Jax-onville, I'm Jaxie :-D )

One of the many cool gifts Griff got from his friends and family, probably my favorite - the remote control Audi R8 - super sweet!

DSi games from Grandma and Grandpa H - what were you guys thinking??? :-D

Uno Attack from Paul/Andrea and kids and Dave and Amy, pretty excited to play this! Griff and Aunt Amy have been cleaning up on regular Uno lately.

Q helping Griff open cards - she does enjoy a good party and So helpful too!

Griff got about 10 Bakugan - if you don't know what that is, just Google it. He and his buddies got to playing with them right there at the party. So good job those of you who got these for him :-)

Opening gifts with friends and Q looking on. Great party, thanks to everyone who came!


Griff and Cap'n Jack Sparrow! The guy was awesome - did the character perfectly, it was really funny. Quincy was scared of him though :-D
