Last week, we finally celebrated Stephen's birthday with friends. This was his first friend birthday party and in many ways this momma felt like it just wasn't supposed to happen. Fortunately, my sweet Stephen rolled with the punches through it all and in the end had a ball with his friends.

We had a pirate party because Stephen is always hunting for treasures. There were many days that he would come home from school with a treasure from the playground. Sometimes it was a pretty stone for me or a little barrette for Mary Frances.

What was supposed to be a birthday party at the park turned into cupcakes and an episode of Jake and the Neverland Pirates at the house.

Fortunately, the rain cleared for a bit so they could run around in the backyard a little.
