Delaney's 8 now!!! She's been planning this party for about 3 months now...it took her a while to decide on a mermaid theme for her party. Lately she's loved watching a TV show called H2O about youth girls who were mermaids...and wanted to be one for a day too...so she was!
We hung blue crepe paper from the ceiling to give an underwater effect to the room and the girls worked to make their glitter crowns for the day.
Afterward they filled their tummys with octopus, shells and fishy blue jello.
Next on the schedule was a treasure hunt. Cailin made a creative clue releated treasure hunt for the girls to find the treasure chest. They traveled from clue to clue until.....
They found it!!
Eweee, it's filled with seaweed (green spaghetti noodles)...oh, and CANDY!!!
Next, they donned their flippers (trashbags taped on with duct tape) and flipped around int he sea to see who could win the race.
So many cute mermaids!!!
Oh, this cake too way to much frosting...but that didn't matter to the girls. They loved it! It required two full cake mixes...one was red velvet, that definitely wasn't the best choice for our purposes. It took so much frosting to cover the red crumbs. But it was done. I don't think I'll make this one again, but it was fun to make with Delaney. She enjoyed using the canned orange icing to decorate the hair.
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!
Opening the gifts...
What a cute mess.
She enjoyed getting lots of different art supplies and little stuffed animals and gummies...Mmmmm, "Thanks to all my friends!" says this happy mermaid.
Looks like a fun party! Very creative! Happy birthday Delaney!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! I'm reminded of my favorite game as a 6-8 year old..."Mermaid Catcher" we had a floor painted blue in a room of our house, and that was the "tank" and the bad guy had to catch us and put us in it. Then we had to escape. Your kids are getting so big!!
