THE PARTY

Saturday was Alli's big birthday party.  Her actual birthday was a week ago, but we waited on the party because one of Alli's favorite pals was out of town.

Alli wanted a fish-unicorn-princess-themed party.  (I enjoy a good challenge.)invitation cake 1  pinata 1cake 2

The invitations featured a princess, some fish and a unicorn.  Alli was quite pleased.  The cake featured all three themes too.  I made a fish piñata.  And we played a princess-ball-toss game, a fishing game, and pin-the-horn-on-the-unicorn.  The kids dressed up in princess costumes.  Alli was a mermaid princess (wow... she covered 2 out of 3 themes) and she wore one braid and one pigtail in her hair... plus a mermaid tiara.

A fun time was had by all.  Everyone went home sugared-up, tired, and with treat bags... a successful party indeed.

From age two, Alli has expressed strong opinions about her birthday celebrations (Alli, age two: "I want pink cupcakes with pink sprinkles and pink candles.").  Alli said that next year she wants an animal party.  Where is the challenge in that?

What a combination! Great job! If anyone can pull off a theme like that, it's you!
