Josh is Knighted!


Fitz's 4th birthday party was a ton of fun!!! It was a knights and dragons theme, and they had really gone all out!!
We had just been to Abrea's for Danny's tea party the day before, and then Fitz's birthday party was the next day!! She has been a busy woman.
They had made a draw bridge when you entered the "castle", and the boys were given swords, axes, and chainmail to wear to go and fight the dragon!!
The kids chose a real medieval shield design and then painted it.
This is the design Josh chose:

It turned out pretty good!

After the kids went on a quest to find and slay the dragon!!! They were given money for their quest (chocolate coins) and they donned their knight gear for the quest.
They followed cardboard footprints around the yard and found the dragon - a pinata, which they then had to slay.



Claire gave it a fair shot, but then took the quest money and ran!
She was pretty excited when she found out it was CHOCOLATE money!
Jason asked her if she wanted to eat it, and she laughed at him and said "nooooooooo..." then he opened one and she was very excited!


I love how sweet Jason is looking at her.
He is the cutest daddy :)

How fun! I bet Josh loved it. Hopefully he wasn't slaying dragons all day long at home :) And hopefully Claire wasn't searching the house for more hidden treasure :)
