My youngest, my baby, is now 4 YEARS OLD!!!!! Where has the time gone? Doesn't she look so old in this picture?
We celebrated her Birthday with a "Mermaid" themed party. We are going with the redhead themes ha!
Each of the guests received there very own goldfish! I think the parents were absolutely thrilled!
Here are all the fish. We did blue rocks for the boys and pink rocks for the girls.
Lets just say that the fish didn't last long. By the next morning all 5 of our fish had passed. :( I later found out that goldfish are the "filthy" fish. They quickly build up too much ammonia in their water and then suffocate themselves from their own waste. So to keep these little ones alive you need to have a filter that keeps bubbles going. It has been two weeks since the party and my sister has kept their fish alive, but it is in a tank now. :)
Here are the Mermaid cupcakes. I put brown sugar down as the sand and put sea shells around it. I used Esty for the Mermaid cut outs. They only cost $2.50!
The boys had swords in their cupcakes with pearls.
When the guests came into the party there were coloring pages.
Picture with Nana and the Birthday girl!

Then we had a pirate treasure find. Here is pirate daddy explaining the hunt.
Each of the kids were given a number and they needed to find their number on treasure boxes that were hidden.
Abby found her treasure!
So did Brynn!
Katie started eating her treasure.
Here is all the food.
Smiles from Jonathan!
Baby Lincoln and his mommy Katie!
Time for some swimming!
Stephanie and her mommy Kelli!
The pool was packed! It was a perfect day that was hot and the pool was heated!
There was also a water slide up in the backyard.
The kids all got dried off and it was time for the cupcakes!
Off on the golf cart!
Isn't this so cute?
Peter and Kelli!
Some hula hooping!

Present time!
After seeing all her presents, I think we will have a Brave party next year! :)
Bella and Brynn with their fish.
At the end of the night we lit a lantern.
Ellie with Jacob. This is Ellie's first crush. She gets so smitten over Jacob. Did I ever tell you that I don't think arrange marriages are bad?!?!! HA!
The kids all ran after the lantern. It went so high!
The party was a sucess! Ellie had so much fun and she truly loves parties! Can parties be a love language? If it is, it is definitely my Ellie's love language! :)
