Summertime birthdays are rough; you are not in school and unless you plan really far in advance you may not be able to invite the previous classmates.
So, we convinced Lily to wait until school started and then invite her new classmates. Then, at the school this year they did what they called a kindergarten round-up where the kids rotated amongst the 4 teachers for the first 2 weeks and so she did not have a set group of classmates.
We ended up inviting a few of the kids from school she did know, a few from her previous class that we had contact with and her friends from church.
She chose a mermaid themed party and since Peter was still in Houston due to Hurricane Harvey, cake decorating fell to me. Arabella reminded me of these cute turtle cupcakes in a cookbook we have and I came up with the octopuses and crabs. We had a few other snacks and raspberry sherbet floats. There is a great new splash pad not far from our house and it was the perfect watery fun for this mermaid adventure on a hot day!
I did not do a great job at taking pictures but we did have a really fun day!
