Here are some images from Ryan's 4th birthday party.

| Under the Sea Buffet |
The green "net" in the back is actually a curtain panel that I picked up at a local thrift store.

| Under the Sea |
The little "jellyfish" were made by simply draping decorative paper to the bottom of round paper lanterns. They only looked liked jellyfish when the wind was blowing. They were cute none the less!

| Take a Dip! |
 |
| Treasure Trail Mix |
A mixture of fish crackers, yogurt covered raisins, slivered almonds, sesame seeds, fish candy, blue jelly beans and rock shaped chocolate.
 |
| Seashell Fruit Cups |
I used silver food paint to give the ice cream cones a shell like appearance. Then filled them up with fruit.
These crowns were super easy to make. Click

| The unbreakable piñata! |

| The birthday girl listening for mermaids |

| Lovely mermaids |
Instead of a goody bag, each one of Ryan's friends left the party with their very own mermaid dress.

| The beautiful cake! |
After hours of searching online, I came across a cake just like this on
Pinterest. I loved that it was simple and beautiful. So I had a local bakery - Celebrate with a Cake - recreate it for me. I think it turned out perfectly! In the top tier, the cake was even blue inside.
