Franky turned FIVE this week and my goodness he has grown so much in the past year! Not only has he grown tremendously in height but this shy little kid who used to not want to say a word to anyone but his family now loves gymnastics, loves going to school and he was so excited to have his friends over for a pirate themed birthday party this year. Of course none of us were surprised at his birthday theme choice - his love for pirates is still going strong!

Here’s what we did at his little pirate party:

• Pin the Parrot on the Pirate

• We decorated little wooden treasure boxes

• The kids went on a treasure hunt throughout the house

• We at Pirate Booty and of course, cake!

And we surprised Franky by inviting “the real” Caption Jack Sparrow. He was shocked and giddy and couldn’t stop smiling! He’s still talking about that special surprise and I’m sure he will for years. We used CharacterBooking.com and I’d highly recommend for any Utah County party characters. They were incredible to work with!

I’ll link everything from Franky’s pirate party above if you want any links or need any ideas for your own pirate parties!
