Mermaids

Beatrice is obsessed with all things Mermaid. Actually, anything magical- mermaids, fairies, princesses- the typical 4 year old girl phase. Naturally then to celebrate her 4th birthday, we invited a few of her friends (14!) over for a magical morning of looking for treasure in the sea. I decorated all four opennings to the dining room with blue, green and purple streamers along with dangling fish. On the table was an aqua-blue table cloth, fish netting and sea shells. There were fish candles floating in a large glass bowl and a picture of Bebe with "the real Ariel" at Disney on the table. Bebe's favorite part was her amazing mermaid barbie cake! Emelene Van Dyke from work created this masterpiece which was SO cute! Bebe's Ariel mermaid sat on top of the cake admist frosting flowers and the water. We played three games with the kids- find the chocolate coins hidden in the backyard, pass the treasure chest and pick a prize, and lastly, go fishing for a prize. In her own quiet way, Bebe loved her mermaid party and being the center of attention for once!
