The Celebration Continues Part 1 Decorations

Makenna's favorite movie  and character  for a while  has  been  Little Mermaid, Ariel.  For that reason she was determined to have an Ari party for her fourth birthday.  At first thought, Mamma Kim thought this would be an  easy party to  put  together.  As the details began to fall into place and one thing lead to another the decorations  grew bigger and more elaborate  thus more time consuming.  About 10 minutes before the party we were finishing up all things mermaid and of course there had to be lots of bling involved.

Ariel greeted every  guest as they entered   the door.  That was not even a thought until last night about 9pm when Mamma Kim decided  the door needed something.  Thank goodness for the pazzle. It saved the night.

Lots of sugar and chocolate  are always good things to give kids to get them charged up  for  Moms and Dads.  We wanted to make sure they had plenty of each.  Everything from candy sea shells to a marshmallow octopus.

                                       Marshmallow  Octopus

                                                  M  & M's

                                            Sour Patch Octopus

                        The treasure chest with King Triton's mighty trident

                              Goody Buckets for all the little guest

                               The table centerpiece contained jewels and stones just like the treasure chest in the Little Mermaid.  Makenna has read the book so much she knows all the  details from memory and insisted  we not  leave out one detail.  Mamma Kim loves details and was glad to oblige for Precious Baby.

 Jelly  fish went along with our theme very nicely and Makenna loved helping make these  for her party.  We have been enjoying them hanging for several weeks now.

No Little Mermaid party would be complete with out Makenna having her very own Ariel outfit and in the words of Makenna, "Mamma, I have my very own fin just like Ariel."

Cupcakes must  have been pretty  good as Miles ate two and wanted a third and  his Mamma would not let him have it.

Food table  included Sea cookies, sea shell candy, octopus hotdogs, Mason's favorite, Sushi rolls, mermaid pretzels, goldfish, M & M's, sour patch octopus, marshmallow octopus, and chips.

 Happy Birthday my Precious Baby.  I love you  to the moon and back.  You are worth every bit of effort and then some it took to make your dream come true with an Ariel birthday.  I hope it met every expectation you  had for your party . Four years old came much too quickly Precious Baby, please do not grow up so quickly.
