It's that time of year again. My beautiful little girl turned 6 and we had a wonderful party to celebrate her birthday. Its crazy how fast time goes with little kids, and how much they grow and change each year. I couldn't be more proud of the caring, funny, considerate and smart little girl she is! Since she loves swimming and being on the swim team (but we didn't want a swim party), the next best thing is obviously an under the sea themed party! I made everything from mermaid wands, gumball necklaces, pirate hats, tassel garland, a tablecloth, chair decor, and lots of other things here and there. The kids got to enjoy a craft, a game, we had a mermaid come to paint faces and make balloon animals and we also served a yummy bbq dinner from one of our favorite restaurants. It is so much fun to see your vision come to life and have everyone enjoy it. But really the most important and best part was celebrating my wonderful little girl, that is becoming a big girl all too fast, with our family and friends!
She was so excited to see all the candy and her cake before her friends arrived!
The mermaid wands, gumball necklaces and party hats for her friends.
The boys inflatable swords (that they loved!) and pirate hats.
The Win a Fish game. We used squishy balls and foam balls rather than ping pong balls, which make the game so much easier for 6 year olds. The fish are actually fish soap! And I love the chair decor you can see in the back. I forgot to take a closeup picture of it though.
I attempted to make the fish soap myself, but after 3 days of misery I decided, you got to know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em! So we purchased the fish soap : )!
The kids got to craft a seascape which they loved. They got their own jar where they could add sand, glitter, sea animals, and shells.
Our family pic from her party!

The beautiful and tasty cake!
I love how everyone is so into her blowing out the candles, totally makes me smile.
And my dad having fun with my little man!
If you've made it through all these pictures here's a little extra info about them!
PS- The pictures are so dark because it was gloomy and rainy off and on that day, even more reason why it was good we didn't have an actual swim party : )!
PPS- I have so many cute pics of her with her friends, but I live in an area my sister likes to refer to as something out of Stepford Wives, so I tried to not add to many with other kids just in case : )!
