My son is in LOVE with Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  Yesterday was his 4th birthday and it snowed all day here in New Jersey (on March 25!).  I was going to have some friends over to celebrate with him today, which was also my day to host our neighborhood playgroup, but my big plan was to keep everyone OUTSIDE.  Thanks to the snow, that wasn’t an option.  So in a classic procrastination/ freak out move I called Pump It Up (one of those indoor inflatable places) and booked a party for today.  Yes, I booked a party with less than 24 hours notice!  But you know what?  I had 28 kids show up!  It was a mix of playgroup, school friends, neighborhood and family friends.  And now it’s done!  Yay!

 

Here’s a shot of Jake and his mama, blowing out his 4 candle.  It gives you a good view of the back of the cake.  I attached the cutouts to lollipop sticks with glue dots.

I placed bowls of Swedish Fish and Goldfish on the kids’ tables.  And decorated with red/black balloons and a pirate flag. Remember it was last-minute!

If there are any of you who don’t know, Jake is a Disney Junior character.  Here is my son with Jake at Disney World’s Hollywood and Vine at Hollywood Studios.  He had a blast!!!

*Update: Have you seen these?  I wish they had them when my son was in his Duplo stage.  They would make great a birthday present!
