Nash’s “Pie-yet Eh-Mo Poor-Tee!”

Translation: Nash’s Pirate Elmo Party!!!

For months, when we asked Nash what kind of party he wanted when he turned two, he would say “Eh-mo Poor-ty!” So, an Elmo party it was. And, when we joined the amazing pirate splash park in our neighborhood, we thought it would be fun to throw a little pirate in there as well. Obviously, Matt designed the most perfect invite for our “family party” this year…and, I almost burned our house down trying to make them even more unique! Why can’t I just leave well enough alone?! :)

JUNE! 200Then, on the day after Nash’s real birthday, we celebrated with a few of our closest friends and the grandparents. It was a perfect, fun-filled day with splashing, eating, sliding and celebrating one very loved little 2 year old.

Our big pirate Elmo stole the show…every toddler in the park HAD to come see him…

Thankfully, everyone had a BLAST! It really is the perfect spot for a summer birthday party. And, my boy was in heaven having so many of his favorite people around him…including his precious girl, Everley.

My mother is a wedding and party planner in Vegas, sothis says a lot... Nash's birthday looked amazing! What a cute integration of the pirate water park and his favorite Sesame Street Character! You can tell all of the kiddos had a great time, my favorite part was the awesome Cookies, and your husbands awesome design skills on those invitations... I also loved his party rockers shirt. So sweet, great job girl!
