UNDER THE SEA AND TURNING THREE

A month late is better than never. Buca turned the ripe old age of three this month and her party was slammin. We started the day with some lunch at J0hnny Rockets and a purple ballon was her only request. She helped with planning and carrying out the entire soiree, from the theme, the pinata, the prizes, and the treats... it was all her idea.

Here's a bunch of un-edited pics of the uber fun day.

Layla helped pick out which fish to put hang for the fishing game. 

A little butcher paper and toll paint went a long way for this game. The kids went fishing for a prize over the fence.

 Thanks to Rita for researching how to make sand play-doh

Layla helped assemble each sandcastle kit for her friends, including seashells, a topper flag, and sea life.

All the children attending the party had the chance to take their sandcastle home as a party favor

 Layla picked out the pinata and I dressed it up a little with some extra create paper.

A party wouldn't be complete without a pinata explosion

 Great gifts, treats, friends and family, treats and cake.

We served pirates booty, pretzels (sea anchors), gold fish, gummy fish, gummy sharks, and gummy octopus were among the favorites. Star fish cookies and pacific island punch also tickled our tummies. 

It was a wonderful day.

 Layla picked 3 friends to invite and family was there to remind us how blessed we are to have so many people who love Layla. 

Happy Birthday my girl.
