Ela's 6th Birthday

Although it was wet and miserable (glad i opted out of the bouncy castle!) Ela's mermaid and pirates party was a huge success thanks to our friend Mermaid Wishes from www.findingfairyland.com.au

She did have me biting my nails and wondering what i would do if she didn't turn up, as the rain had gotten the better of her - timewise. But she had the kids enthralled the minute she got here with tales of using her tail to swim up the driveway! She came complete with fairy toadstool, games and prizes and it meant the mums could sit back and enjoy the cake and coffee. There was also plenty of dancing, fairy wishing powder and of course lots of presents from friends and family. 


An exhausting but thoroughly enjoyable day made all the more memorable as Nana and Grandad were here to share it. And of course a party wouldn't be complete without a wonderful cake from Nannie, a mermaid (of course) with a shell of chocolate treasures.


As you can see from the picture, Tom wasn't sure if he wanted to be a pirate or a mermaid so he opted for a bit of both!
