we had adalie’s 4th birthday party over the weekend. the theme was a “mermaid: under the sea”, requested by the birthday girl herself. princess ariel came and paid a visit and all the little girls invaded ariel’s personal bubble the whole time from the moment ariel walked into the house until the moment she left. they just loved her and smothered her all over! ariel read a story to them, sang some songs, made princess crowns with them, and taught etiquette on how to be a true princess. one of my favorites moments of the party was when ariel finished the little mermaid storybook and ended with, “and they lived happily ever after.” and one of adalie’s friends yelled out, “just like the three pigs!” my other favorite moment was seeing adalie hop around in her mermaid fin that she wanted me to make for her birthday. she refused to take it off and just hopped around as if she was in a potato sack race. it was pretty darn cute.i think it’s safe to say all the girls had a lot of fun at the party, especially the birthday girl.
*for the treats i used a rice krispies on a stick recipe, dipped pretzel sticks in chocolate and sprinkles, blended graham crackers for the sand and put gold chocolate coins in a star shaped bowl, made blue raspberry jello and stuck swedish fish in the jello and topped it with an umbrella, and used a towering sand castle cake recipe and added mermaid dolls and white chocolate sea shells and starfish i made using a mold. and we hired ariel from a party company called pirate & princess parties.

I AM SO JEALOUS OF ADDI! Ha ha I have a mermaid complex as well, and I NEVER got a mermaid party, but you can bet your sweet mermaid tale I have that movie memorized. AND I now know what I want to be when I grow up! I would totally loved that ladies job, infact you should have just asked me to come do that, I would have EVEN thrown in a song or two, cause I am fantastic like that.
Anyway love the party love all your cute decor and such!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDI!

I love all your treats. They look super yummy! Who did you get to play Ariel? Adi and Na'u are about a month apart so in your last post you wrote about 'how you can't believe she's turning 4', made me really think about it and I can't believe it either. I'm excited that she's turning 4 and I can make a little party for her but then again my baby girl is going to be 4. That means that she's almost going to kindergarden :(.

Sarah says
Thank you for all your comments!
@Lohi: it was a party company called pirates and princesses. They are in UT but I know there's lots of companies like that all over.:)
