Aaaargh Matey! T'was a Party fit for a Saucy Wench for sure!

Doug Dahl appearing as Jack Sparrow!

Saturday night, November 8th, 2008 was Jaycie's Pirate Party to celebrate her 16th birthday! This whole party turned out to be quite the production, but it was super fun! We have spent the last month getting back drops ready and gathering fun items to make this night the best ever! I want to personally thank Jaycie for allowing me to take the reins on this and go for it! She was very helpful in paying for all of the decorations herself, we paid for the food and spent hours of preparation. I just wanted to recognize her hard work in saving the money to make the
party a hit!

Enter if Ye dare!!

Jaycie ready for the party to start!

Special thanks to Staci Hansen! Staci spent hours with me painting back drops and The Black Pearl! Without her this party couldn't have happened!

THANK YOU STACI!!!

Poor Elizabeth found herself locked in the stockade at the end of the night with
Sir Alex Wilson the 3rd!
